Description:
The grapes come from old Garnacha vineyards with low yield located high on the hillsides at 700 – 1.000 meters above sea level. The vineyards are planted in mainly metamorphic rocks (decomposed slate) and gravely clay soils. Both alcoholic fermentation and maceration were carried out in
stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is aged for 10 months in French oak barrels before being bottled.
Tasting Notes:
Deep cherry colour, on the nose it presents intense aromas of ripe red fruit (raspberry) that combine perfectly with the spicy notes of cocoa, vanilla and liquorice that respond to a noble aging. Powerful and full on the palate with a very fresh and fruity mid palate, but tasty and complex, mineral, with a remarkable finish where the fruity and spicy aromas reappear in the retro-nasal. Magnificent expression of an elegant Aragonese Garnacha with very ripe tannins.
Food Pairings:
Wine of great versatility that can be paired with game meat or creamy rice dishes, stewed vegetables, mushrooms, game and poultry, casseroles, sauced fish and seafood, cured and blue cheeses, grilled red and white meats, roast lamb, pork, beef.
