ORGANICALLY FARMED
Garnacha Tintorera & Moravia Agria
This is a delicious, naturally-made, medium-bodied red with a lot of character! It comes from the plains of La Mancha, on the other side of the mountains from Valencia. Driven by rounded and floral-tinged Garnacha Tintorera (aka Alicante Bouschet), and complemented the local Moravia Agria's lighter, brighter character, this red is a wonderful marriage of the two. Purple flowers (violet and lavender), juicy cherry, Mediterranean herbs, and a "crushed rock" minerality form an expansive aromatic picture. The rounded mouthfeel comes with a sense of volume over weight, grounded by a gentle wash of earthy tannins. A delightful, honest wine at a fantastic price!
"The 2024 Albahra blends 65% Garnacha Tintorera and 35% Moravia Agria from the chalk soils of Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha. It opens with expressive fruit aromas of sour cherry and rose, accented by menthol and lavender notes. This fermented primarily in concrete, with the Moravia Agria aged in barrels. It is an intelligent, well-conceived expression that shows both intensity and a touch of grip." - Joaquin Hidalgo, VINOUS MEDIA
A portion of the grapes are fermented as whole clusters in a mix of nuetral oak barrels and concrete tanks, then rested for around 8 months to mellow the wine, but not lose those brilliant aromatics. Bottled unfiltered and unfined, and with a very small amount of sulfites for protection.
