From: Spain
Varietal: 100% Grenache
The Garnatxa Negra from Espelt comes from their highest elevation vineyard, Rabós, tucked in the Alberes Nature Reserve Area. These are the oldest vines on the property with centenary Garnatxa Negra and Carinyena grow on sandy slate and granite soils. While plenty of inexpensive, fruit-forward Garnachas come from Spain, few have the depth of minerality and complexity found in this old-vine cuvée.
Tasting Notes: Clean, supple, and elegant, this wine brings fruity flavors of ripe blackberry, black currant, herbs, and luscious minerality.
Pairing: Pair this wine with light, simple snacks on your next picnic, or a more substantial meal of grilled chicken, fish, and vegetables.
