Garnacha Vinas Viejas 2024

Wine Details
Region: Denominacion de Origen Navarra
Variety: Garnacha
Alcohol: 14.00%

Terroir
Selection of old Garnacha vines from our plots located in the low mountain zones, in the extreme east of the appellation. Very poor clay and stony soils, strongly influenced by the area's cool climate. The vines are at least 45 years old, yielding only 4,000 kg per hectare, resulting in greater typicity and concentration in the grapes. Manual harvest in 20-kg cases during the first week of November.

Winemaking
First selection in the vineyard, followed by a second selection on the table before production. After a gentle crushing, the grape juice is vatted by gravity in small French oak tanks, where it ferments and macerates with its skins for 21 days, with constant pumping over.

Aging
Aged for 6 months in French 500-liter oak barrels, of second and third use, which provides structure without affecting the varietal typicity of Garnacha.

Tasting Notes
Cherry red color, clean and bright. Elegant floral aromas of violet and red fruits, especially strawberry and raspberry. It stands out for its typicity and for the explosion of fruit in the mouth. Very fresh, with good acidity and an elegant, light palate.

Pairing
Very versatile to pair with many dishes, especially roast meats, semi-cured cheeses, pastas, rice, and any Mediterranean dish, even with slightly fatty fish.
