From a number of parcels of vines (3 of Garnacha Tintorera near Albacete, 1 of Moravia Agria near Manchuela) planted on calcareous, clay, and sandy soils of up to 900m of elevation. Viticulture is organic, vines are trained en vaso and range from 30-45-years-old. 

The grapes were fermented with indigenous yeasts by parcel. 30% to 70% whole bunches are used, and maceration averages around 10 days before pressing with a pneumatic press. Fermentation completes in a mix of used barrels and concrete tanks, and the wine rests on its lees for 8 months. Bottled without fining or filtering, and with only a very small addition of sulfur. 

The ripe mulberry, blue and black fruit sets the tone but the rhythm is tempered by its freshness with tangy aromas of wild flowers, mineral, exotic herbs and iodine at the same time. Juicy and fresh on the palate with a constrained medium body with vibrant, crunchy berries rounded by lacy, minerally tannins. Pure, silky finish full of blue fruit. Intrinsic. Delicious now, why hold?

Juicy and bright, with black fruit and red berry bon bon sweets. Has character and originality, with fine and powdery tannins. A lively and enjoyable Garnacha blend. Nominated by Natalie Earl.
