Garnacha
Spiced and Mediterranean Warmth
"The grape that interprets the language of the sun: juicy red fruit, ethereal elegance, and the noble rusticity of the Mediterranean landscape."
The Renaissance of a Global Icon
Garnacha has transformed from a blending grape to the star of the most exciting single varietals. Its ability to convey the terroir is astonishing: from the mineral power of the Priorat DOQ slates to the vertical finesse of the granites in the Sierra de Gredos, a recovery movement highlighted by specialized critics.
With a natural resistance to drought analyzed by the OIV, this variety produces wines of unique luminosity. By choosing a label from our selection of red wines, you discover a palette ranging from pale rosés to reds with "garrigue" notes, an aromatic profile typical of the Rhône Valley regions.

Structure and Tannicity
It is characterized by silky tannins. Although its color may seem light, its body is generous, a technical trait that gives it its fame in regions like DOCa Rioja, where it adds volume and fruit to classic blends.
