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