The 2021 El Escoces Volante El Cismatico is a Grenache varietal wine hailing from the Calatayud region in Spain. This red wine, produced by El Escoces Volante, features a cork closure and has an alcohol content of 14.0%.

According to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, the 2021 vintage has received high praise, scoring an impressive 95 points. The review, dated May 31, 2023, notes that the 2021 El Cismatico exemplifies the positive attributes of the 2021 vintage, which includes ripe fruit flavors combined with a fresh, often citrus-like quality. The reviewer, identified as LG, describes the wine as having "plenty of aromas and flavors coupled with an extra degree of freshness, often citrus, reminiscent of blood orange peel."

An important change in the vineyards, now situated on white limestone-rich soils, has resulted in a paler and more aromatic wine compared to previous vintages. This soil change appears to have contributed to the wine's exotic and ethereal qualities. LG states that the 2021 El Cismatico offers "a tad more complexity and layers than the 2020 I tasted next to it." This suggests an evolution and improvement in the wine's profile from one year to the next.

The review emphasizes the wine's superb balance and hints at its potential for aging, noting that it "seems to have all the ingredients and inner energy to develop nicely in bottle." This indicates that the wine not only offers immediate enjoyment but also promises to evolve further with time.

Production of the 2021 El Cismatico was limited to 3,333 bottles, and it was bottled in April 2023. The limited production and high praise from a reputable source like Robert Parker's Wine Advocate make this wine a noteworthy choice for enthusiasts of Grenache and Spanish wines.
