GRAPE: Garnacha.
APPELLATION: Calatayud DO.
VINIFICATION: Pre fermentative maceration of 6 days. Fermentation process in ancient cement vats during 16 days at 26ºC max. that offers perfect oxygenation to the wine making it rounded and tantalized. Post fermentative maceration for 15 days. Malolactic takes place also in the same cement vats specially restored for OGV.
TASTING NOTES: Sexy and brilliant ruby color with violet notes. Silky and precise on the palate, spice accented blackberry and cherry aromas. This distinctly garnacha wine finishes with excellent length and warmness tannins that will be the perfect accompaniment to the finest plates.
FOOD PAIRING: Grilled octopus, manchego cheese, or grilled meats (especially pork or lamb). The bold fruitiness and spice of the Garnacha complement the smoky, juicy flavors of grilled pork chops or lamb. The wine’s acidity cuts through the richness of the meat, balancing the dish.
