Red Wine Garnatxa EG 2021
Availability: In stock
A varietal Grenache, Garnatxa EG is a single parcel Spanish red wine produced from vines planted on the Montsant river basin, near the village of Gratallops, in the heart of DOQ Priorat.
Produced by Cesca Vicent, this Crianza red wine was born in the steep slate and rocky slopes typical of Priorat. Certified organic, the vineyards are farmed following environmentally friendly procedures.
Harvested by hand in mid September, the grapes were first macerated with the skins in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature. After that, they were fermented for a substantial period of time, and racked on a daily basis. Garnatxa EG 2021 was then transferred into French oak barrels and aged for 12 months. Once the process was completed, the best barrels were selected and the wine was bottled after a gentle filtration.
Decant this organic red wine from Priorat minimum of 30 minutes before drinking.
Limited production.
Appearance | The red wine Garnatxa EG is deep cherry with a purple edge. |
---|---|
Nose | As intense as it is fresh, this Grenache conveys an exhilarating note of fresh red fruit, framed by some spicy and toasted notes, which evolve into Mediterranean garrigue, a tip of citrus, and some mineral undertones. |
Palate | Medium-bodied and fruit-driven, this wine of Cesca Vicent is intensely Mediterranean, with aromatic herbs and the typically mineral Priorat character in the foreground. Savoury notes of strawberries and redcurrants, with yummy tannins and a long finish with a spicy fleck. |
Our personal opinion | Enormously pleasurable, Garnatxa EG 2021 is an excellent, terroir-bound Grenache from Priorat. |
