Native-yeast fermentation in an open-top vessel with around 40% of the stems. Gentle pressing followed by maturation for 14 months in three 500-litre French oak barrels.
Pronounced on the nose with fresh blueberry, forrest berry, red cherry, orange zest and gingerbread spice. Very succulent and vibrant on the palate, with fine-grained tannins. Intense notes of blueberry on a long-lasting finish. A gorgeous Garnacha of wonderful freshness and purity.
The vineyards are situated at elevations of over 600 metres in close proximity to the Las Viejas district of Cárdenas, where the soil mainly consists of red clay.
