[A bottle that embodies the true charm of Garnacha]

Discovering the expressive potential of Garnacha, grown at high altitude in the Sierra de Gredos, this wine expresses powerful and complex flavors reminiscent of Burgundy.

The area in which the vineyards are located is one of the highest (1000-1100m) and coolest Garnacha growing regions in Spain.

After strict bunch selection, 20-30% of the grapes are destemmed without being crushed and then pumped to the bottom of 3,300L and 1,000L stainless steel tanks and a 3,500L concrete tank.

The remaining whole bunches are transferred to tanks where they undergo maceration at low temperature for 4-5 days before spontaneous fermentation. Gentle extraction is achieved by gravity. After fermentation, the wine is gently pressed in a vertical basket press.

Malolactic fermentation and aging takes place over a period of 14 months, with 30% aging in concrete tanks, 40% in traditional clay vats and 30% in neutral 500L French oak barrels.

The resulting wine offers aromas of red berries, earth, and undergrowth. It is medium-bodied with velvety tannins, harmonious and supple, with silky clarity and a fresh, lively finish.
