Winemaker Notes
Selected from the 70 years old vineyard “La Cantera”, where they grow excellent Garnacha grapes, delicate and with high concentration. The wine is aged during 6 months in barriques, which helps maintain its uniqueness while giving some structure and aromas of cacao. Ruby in color, it has flavors of ripe red berries, well balanced and smooth palate.
Nice Garnacha to enjoy with tapas and main plates like pasta or vegetables like piquillo peppers.
Grenache thrives in any warm, Mediterranean climate where ample sunlight allows its clusters to achieve full phenolic ripeness. While Grenache's birthplace is Spain (there called Garnacha), today it is more recognized as the key player in the red blends of the Southern Rhône, namely Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône and its villages. Somm Secret—The Italian island of Sardinia produces bold, rustic, single varietal Grenache (there called Cannonau). California, Washington and Australia have achieved found success with Grenache, both flying solo and in blends.
Just north of Spain’s famous Rioja region, Navarra excels in the production of full and fruit-dominant reds and good quality, dry rosés. Garnacha holds most of the land under vine, with Tempranillo coming in second place.
