A limited edition, organic wine from one of Almansa’s most ancient plots planted with ungrafted Garnacha Tintorera vines. The poor, stony soils with high limestone content, harsh winters and arid summers make for tiny yields. The high altitude, over 900m preserves the natural acidity as evident in this wine. All making for a superbly complex, concentrated example with balance, energy and drive. A profoundly serious Garnacha/Grenache that won’t disappoint.

Rich, earthy and warm aromas of dark plums, dark chocolate, black liquorice, fennel with hints of thyme.

Those same warm, rich, ripe and earthy flavours follow through on the palate with lashings of bitter chocolate, coffee bean, fresh tobacco leaves, leather notes and a savoury forest floor undertone. The descriptives keep coming and coming. The palate is rich and unctuous, satisfying on every level, where those rich, warm flavours are in harmony with the crystalline acid thread, giving freshness and drinkability. Delicious drinking now through 2025 and perfect with your favourite roast red meat dishes.
