Garnacha Tintorera
Garnacha Tintorera
Bodegas Atalaya 2018 Laya Almansa
Spanish Red
Deep cherry-red colour shows violet shades. Blueberry and bramble meet black tea, savoury herbs and pepper. Fresh acidity and polished tannins accompany the dark-fruited palate, with warmth and a savoury finish. Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell form the blend in Spain's Almansa area. The varieties ferment separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel, complete malolactic fermentation and remain in stainless steel until bottling.
Envínate 2017 Albahra
Spanish Red
Light red colour accompanies fresh red fruit, a fresh opening, a light-footed palate and a distinctly spiced character. The blend is seventy percent Garnacha Tintorera and thirty percent Moravia Agria. The former comes from clay-limestone soil; the latter grows in clay-limestone with sandy topsoil. Both components mature for eight months, in concrete or older French barriques, before blending.
Alfredo Maestro 2019 Amanda Rosado de Lágrima
Spanish Rosé
Garnacha Tintorera is pressed directly without skin contact, preserving freshness and crunchy fruit. Most of the fruit comes from El Cuchillejo in Olmos de Peñafiel, a north-facing vineyard planted in nineteen fifty-three at 850 metres on limestone-clay soil. Additional fruit comes from old plots in Burgos, Valladolid and Segovia. The wine is a rosé made without ageing.
