Nietro Old Vines Crianza 2019 red (garnacha) Calatayud

£11.30

One of our favourite wines. Strong, smooth and minerally.

1- High altitude vineyard. 2- Slate soil. 3- Rough weather, 4- Garnacha old vines, 5- Aged for just 4 months.

The mix of the above give a superb wine as a result.

Vineyards: Very old vines located up in the mountain at 900 metres altitude in a watershed area. Soil is rocky, with a high amount of pebbles and slates. These features make it find us with a unique vineyard, able to express the true personality of the Garnacha grape.
Wine Making / Aging: Manual harvest in 2o kilo crates. Fermentation took place at 26º C in stainless steel deposits, macerating for 14 days. The wine is transferred to French Oak barriques along with its lees (dead yeast cells and other particles remaining in a wine after fermentation. They settle as sediment or creamy mud at the bottom of the fermenting barrique) and ages for 4 months. Then is bottled and left to age for another 2 years.
Awards: 89 Points Vinous. Josh Raynolds
