Description
A stunning old vine Garnacha (Grenache) from 75+ year old vines at 620m on slate & limestone soils in Aragon. Red fruited & ethereal in every sense.
TINY PRODUCTION – VERY LIMITED
96 Points, Gary Walsh (TWF), Tip Tipple – “Ripe strawberry, raspberry, dried flowers, toasted hazelnut, Play-Doh, something a bit like Espelette pepper. Medium-bodied, a cranberry crispness to acidity, all red fruits here with a subtle ferrous/earthy thing, plenty of pumice stone tannin, with a fresh and precise finish of considerable length. Beautiful wine.”
95 Points, James Suckling (Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas – Senior Editor) – “A subtle yet energetic red with floral aromas. The palate is substantial, with tension and firm yet polished tannins. Love the combination of drinkability and subtle structure. This comes from a single old 1.18-hectare vineyard planted on slate soils. It’s a structured yet well-constructed wine that is delicious now but will surely improve with some bottle time.”
95 Points, Peñín Wine Guide – “Cherry red with a violet rim. Clearly defined and expressive fruity aromas. Red fruits, floral, and spicy. Flavorful and fruity on the palate, with lovely acidity and a long finish.”
