Coming from Jorge Ordonez, it's not too surprising that the Breca "El Nacido" is this good for the price! Over the years, he's become famous for creating wineries around old vineyards in regions that had been overlooked, then creating a lineup of wines that offer high quality at a range of price levels. The over-achieving character of the El Nacido Garnacha starts with the estate's "younger" 40 to 60-year-old, non-irrigated, organically-farmed vines, which struggle to grow their small crop in the rocky soils of the inland Mediterranean region of Calatayud. This is considered to be the homeland of Garnacha, from which it spread all over the Mediterranean rim and abroad. Here, the dry, sunny days give way to cold nights, making for concentrated, ripely-toned wines that still have a mouthwatering freshness that keeps you coming back for another sip!
"A lively red, with a focused range of pureed raspberry, blood orange peel, dried thyme and lavender, and hot stone flavors, all set in a balanced, medium-bodied frame." - Alison Napjus, WINE SPECTATOR
