Campos de Luz Crianza Garnacha 2014

Campos de Luz, grown in northeast Spain, is made from grapes of Garnacha which are suited to grow in arid conditions. The vineyard is a single estate with plots of 40 to 80 year old Garnacha bush vines with yields of less than 3 tons per hectare. Other parts of the estate have been more recently planted and are trellised. Historically many of the regions planted Garnacha, from Rioja down to the Priorat.

Although much of these plantations have been replaced with other varieties, there are still areas where Garnacha dominates, like in the DO Cariñena, where it is 60% of the area planted. The grape varieties of Campos de Luz are mostly Garnacha, although there are also parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Macabeo and Moscatel.

The range of Campos de Luz wines is based around Garnacha, the most typical and essential of the grape varieties. These wines are aromatic and utterly bound to the history of the region.
