About this wine:
This wine is crafted from 100% old vine Garnacha (vines planted as far back as 1927). It undergoes a 12.5-month aging process, with 15% in new French oak barrels and 85% in second-use barrels. It is medium-bodied with a ruby red color. The nose is filled with intense aromas of red flowers, dried flowers, and red berries, accompanied by hints of spices like cinnamon and smoky notes. On the palate, it delivers a silky smooth texture, with flavors of red plums, blueberries, and red berries. The standout feature is the vibrant taste of blood orange, complemented by subtle hints of yogurt, vanilla, and cinnamon, creating an alluring and irresistible blend. With a medium-high acidity and moderate tannin, it concludes with a lingering and satisfying finish. This wine pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, particularly red meats, braised preparations, succulent steaks, roasted goose, roasted duck, and other roasted delicacies.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "I loved the heady perfume of the 2018 Garnacha, which Marcos Eguren calls "very Atlantic," mostly from very old vines and high altitude, where the grapes ripen late. It's floral, with notes of grape pulp and all things red (watermelon, pomegranate), really showy and with very integrated oak (it matured in 225- and 500-liter oak barrels for 14 months). It's juicy, round and with chewy, fine tannins, very tasty and with a long, dry finish. 20,000 bottles produced."
James Suckling - "This is a phenomenal wine with blood-orange and blueberry aromas. Hints of wet earth. Medium to full body. Chewy tannins, yet integrated and gorgeous. Fantastic value. From vines planted in 1927."
