Botijo Rojo Single Estate Garnacha Tinta 2014

Aragon, SpainGarnacha from IGP Valdejalón, in north eastern Spain's Zaragoza, Aragon, this small batch garagiste garnacha is from a single, dry-farmed vineyard above 400m. Low intervention throughout, and from 40+ year old vines, this spent time in concrete (plus 5 percent in 3-year-old barrels). Finely gritty, grippy dusty tannins house wild raspberry, a cherry core, dried herbs and fine pepper on the finish. Acidity is brisk to a quick finish, reflective of the dry, unrelenting environment. An individual wine of terroir (my bottle was 31,002). Grilled sausages or winter squash would shoulder up well.Tasted: 19 January 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
