Baltasar Gracian Calatayud Garnacha Old Vines 2018 (Spain)

Description

• French oak
• Plum & fig
• Thyme & balsamic
• Silky mouthfeel

Picota cherry red colour. Aromas of blackberries, plums, figs and thyme that bring you to the old mountain vineyards of Garnacha. A subtle touch of oak with balsamic and mineral aromas. Savoury and silky in the mouth with an intense concentration of fruit and a long balanced aftertaste.

Baltasar Gracián is the main range of the winery. High altitude vineyards, different orientations and exceptional slate and gravel soils, which, together with the antiquity of its traditional, bush vines, produce grapes harvests of exceptional quality. Selection of Garnacha plots over 60 years old, from vineyards located in the hills of the Sierra Santa Cruz with quartzite and slate soils.

Destemmed and uncrushed grapes macerate for a month alternating delicate pumping-overs and pigeages. It ages for 12 months in French foudres and vats of 50hl for a better balance and conservation of the Garnacha aromas.
