ORGANICALLY FARMED
JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS - "Aromas of bright red fruits and fresh Mediterranean herbs, offering immediacy and charm. On the palate, it’s medium- to full-bodied, with incisive tannins that frame the core of preserved red berries. There’s a firm, energetic structure beneath the brightness, giving the wine tension and clarity. This always offers tremendous value. Drink or hold." - Jacobo García Andrade, Senior Editor
This is a delicious Garnacha with a serious streak, coming from the Sierra de Gredos in central Spain. Yet another one of Telmo Rodriguez's projects, it's sourced from bush-vines that are over 60 years of age, planted higher altitudes to avoid the intense heat of the lower-lying areas. This vintage has a mouthfilling, rustic, ripe red-fruited profile from the above-average temperatures that year. The characteristic fresh, inner acidity from the Gredos Mountain climate and subtle garnacha spice (like white pepper) keep things energetic, balancing Garnacha's generous character. This is a fantastic partner with grilled meats and veggies or Paella. Fermented with native yeast in large neutral oak vats, then aged 6 months in 500 liter French oak barrels (none new). Unfiltered but fined with egg whites.
