From: Castilla la Mancha, Spain
Varietal: Garnacha/Grenache
Tasting Notes: Lighter-bodied, dry. Bright ruby in color with a nose of fresh crushed cassis, and raspberry. Tart fruit, violets, white pepper, and a touch of terroir on the palate and finish.
Pairing: Because this wine is so fresh, chillable, and light-bodied, we’re sharing a recipe for an equally refreshing dish: Hana Asbrink’s Cold Tofu Salad with Tomatoes and Peaches. It’ll take about 20 minutes to make, and will yield a healthy 4-6 servings.
In a nutshell, this one paragraph from Amanti Vino sums up exactly how we felt the first time we tried Gulp/Hablo’s Garnacha.
“How is this so good?!?! This bright, juicy summer red comes from biodynamically-farmed fruit in Castilla la Mancha and is vinified by natural-wine star Juan-Antonio Ponce. Light in body, chillable, with plenty of mouthwatering acidity, tart red fruit, and subtle spice. An absurd value!”
