Technical Data and Curiosities
What does Garnacha Tintorera bring to this blend?
Unlike common Garnacha, the Tintorera variety has colored pulp, which provides deep color and a robust tannic structure, complementing the floral elegance of the Syrah.
The Terroir of Aldea del Fresno
The El Rincón estate sits on decomposed granite soils 50 km from Madrid. This type of soil is key to the wine's acidity and longevity, imparting an almost electric minerality.
