Description

The vines of La Garnacha Salvaje thrive at an altitude of 800 meters on a watershed along the northern slopes of Moncayo. The soil is rocky, rich in slate, and scattered with smooth pebbles. The grapes were hand-harvested in late September. Maceration lasted for two weeks, and fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at below 25°C. The wine was aged for five months in French oak barrels. Its roundness and youthful character beautifully highlight the best qualities of Garnacha from the Ebro Valley. Fruity, fresh, and gently tannic, this wine is sure to delight Garnacha lovers.
