Winemaker Notes

Honoro Vera Garnacha is produced by Bodegas Ateca, located in the region of Calatayud. Bodegas Ateca cultivates old-vine Garnacha on slate-based vineyards at about 3,000 feet above sea level, some of the highest vineyards in the region. Clay loam deep below the rocky slate allows the vines to obtain moisture and the vineyards to be dry-farmed, lending to low-yields, intensity and structure. Large rocky slate top-soil retains the heat of the day which it later gives off at night when the temperatures drop drastically, especially during the ripening period.

Honoro Vera Garnacha is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged for 2 months in French oak barrels. It shows bright aromas and flavors of redcurrant, cherry, and raspberry with a touch of toasted oak, spice and silky tannins.

Dry-farmed, no pesticides or herbicides, hand-harvested, Vegan

    A generous and meaty red with lively but discreet acidity lifting, which keeps the full body light on its feet on the long, clean finish.

Honoro Vera, Spain

The Honoro Vera wines are produced at Gil Family Estates wineries in four appellations in Spain: Jumilla, Calatayud, Rueda, and Rioja. In each region, the goal is to showcase the character of the native varietals. These wines are made from high quality grapes, planted at high altitudes, giving them complexity and balance that overdelivers for the price. Fruit forward, with soft tannins, and fun, modern labels.

Spanish red wine is known for being bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy, Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained—and flourished—only through a great understanding of Spain’s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.

Of the Spanish red wines, the most planted and respected grape variety is Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Priorat specializes in bold red blends, Jumilla has gained global recognition for its single varietal Monastrell and Utiel-Requena has garnered recent attention for its reds made of Bobal.
