Calatayud

Sweet cherry and dark plum aromas accompany blackcurrant, black cherry, scorched earth and melted liquorice. Forest berries, olive tapenade and candied orange peel add further detail. Made entirely from Garnacha, the wine has supple tannins and a lively, harmonious finish. Cellar work uses concrete and stainless steel, and the wine carries fifteen and a half percent alcohol.

Pure Garnacha comes from old, head-pruned vines planted between 700 and 850 metres on slate, quartzite, sand, limestone and clay. At least half the fruit is retained as whole clusters and fermented with natural yeast in concrete. Ten months of ageing also takes place in concrete. The profile is fruit-driven and juicy, with fine tannins and fresh, fluid character.
