Very aromatic with red fruit, including red currants and other berries along with hints of high-quality maraschino cherries, light forest floor. The palate is similar with more ripe raspberry, beautiful minerality and moderate acidity. The texture is ripe and soft with medium plus acidity and a longer finish.
Sierra de Gredos is a mountainous wine region known more for its culture of “village wines” rather than any one Denominacion de Origen or classified growing region. The vines here, usually very old Garnacha but also native Rufette and Piñuela, form the foundation for many of the regions wines and unique heritage blends. Grown in the granite soils of Sierra de Gredos’ extremely high elevation, these often bold red wine grapes emerge from the cellar with more restrained qualities that are often more perfumed and delicate than those emerging from lower (and hotter) elevation.
