Availability: In stock
The wine Dosterras Garnatxa is made by bodega Dosterras, the project of Mexican-born Fernando Grajales in DO Montsant.
This varietal Spanish red wine was sourced from vines Grenache around 55 years of age, grown in three vineyards with different soil compositions: Verinxell – clay -; Les Pinyanes – limestone – and Pedrenyeres – slate.
After a manual harvest, the grapes were meticulously sorted and macerated for 6 hours before fermenting in stainless steel tanks. Then the red wine Dosterras Garnatxa 2018 was drawn-off and aged for 6 months in 3rd year French oak barrels.
After bottling, this red wine from Montsant was stored for some years in the cellar before being released onto the market.
We suggest decanting this Crianza red wine before drinking.
