Our Garnacha is a juicy, fruity, elegant, and rich wine, with a lively color, medium acidity, and is very flavorful.
This wine is dominated by red fruit (raspberry and strawberry), with subtle notes of white pepper, hints of liqueur and gummy candy.
Our Garnacha clearly conveys the character of the terroir, history, landscape, and fills your mouth with flavor and comforting warmth.
TIM ATKIN: There was no vintage of this wine in 2018, so fans have been waiting for the 2019 bottling. It comes from the Valdeponzos plot, planted in 1905, which could be a Viñedo Singular – similar to a single vineyard. Refreshing and elegant, due to its altitude and the northern exposure of the plot, it is a Garnacha with lots of color, minerality, and punch.

Garnacha Tinta 100%.
360 days in oak barrels and 360 days in bottle. French oak barrels previously used for the fermentation of our Blanco Fermentado en Barrica.
Grandma Pilar’s homemade recipe. A traditional, very flavorful dish. The tomato sauce is ideal for endless bread dipping.
Handpicked Garnacha Tinta grapes. Fermentation in 3000-liter microvinification tanks, controlled at a maximum temperature of 25°C, with no added yeasts – only indigenous yeasts, and minimal intervention in all winemaking processes.
Subsequent aging in barrels for 1 year with bâtonnage, or lees stirring, weekly for the first 2 months to suspend the lees.
APPEARANCE: The first thing that stands out is its very intense cherry-red color, with very bright reflections and purple iridescence.
NOSE: Remarkably complex on the nose, with intense aromas of fresh and tangy red fruit (red currant, strawberry, and wild raspberry) characteristic of the Garnacha grapes from our area. Spicy notes from its light barrel aging and deep violet flower aromas. Its delicate mineral background is reminiscent of the plot located at 700 m in altitude and which is surrounded by aromatic herbs, such as thyme and lavender, with an intense red ferrous-clay soil.
PALATE: The palate is a trendy, heritage red, refreshing, easy-drinking, silky, balanced acidity, intense notes of black fruit with subtle balsamic hints and a long finish. It shows the potential of this variety in high, cool, and borderline growing areas.
The healthy state of the vineyard and hard work made it possible to get to the optimum moment for harvest, in spite of the complicated season.
As for the wines produced, the first impressions on quality were very encouraging.
The rains came at just the right time and the growing conditions were excellent throughout the year, which undoubtedly made it possible to obtain balanced white wines in terms of alcohol and acidity, with great aromatic intensity, round, very suitable for fermentation and aging in barrel.
If there is any grape variety to which Rioja owes a historical debt, it is Garnacha. Until 1973, it occupied more surface area than Tempranillo and currently accounts for less than 8% of Rioja vineyards. Reviled, even hidden on some labels for decades, Garnacha is fashionable today, while for us it means “heritage,” because we have fought to preserve our vineyards beyond trends, for their enormous value as genetic, cultural, historical, and landscape heritage.
Valdeponzos plot, planted in 1905 to Garnacha Tinta on ferrous-clay soil, trained in goblet, and at 670 m in altitude.
