Winemaker Notes
This Garnacha old vines shows the uniqueness of this variety grown in Guerinda Mountains area. Red bright and light colour. It has a delicious complexity on the nose with aromas such us tasty fruits (cherry), sweet spices or mint. All of them covered by balsamics and wild herbs aromas. Subtle oaky hints, due to light toasted barrels, that gives it balsamic and mineral character. Is soft and fresh on the palate. Very rounded and well balanced, with shilky tannins and an elgegant acidity. Persistent and pleasant lingering finish.
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.
