Notes | |||
"Clear, medium intensity, ruby colour wine. Clean, high intensity aromas of red fruit such as raspberry, strawberry, red cherry, also black pepper and earthy notes. Dry and fresh, soft tannins and medium body. Red fruits flavours, mineral hints and a long finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The incredibly young and juicy 2020 Garnacha was produced with grapes from different villages, Corella, Cintruénigo, Fitero and Lerga, hence a regional blend that for the first time contains grapes from the cooler Lerga that adds lower pH, more freshness and complexity to the blend. They do a soft extraction in stainless steel using 20% full clusters and indigenous yeasts, achieving a wine with moderate alcohol (13.47%) and good freshness (pH 3.47). I felt like the wine had gone one step up in complexity and depth from the previous vintage; it's precise, harmonious, elegant and nuanced and keeps varietal purity. It's medium-bodied and has very fine tannins with herbal freshness, reminiscent of acid berries and bay leaf. This is a steal! One to buy by the case... 137,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2021." —Wine Advocate |
