Discover the Garnacha Peluda 2023, a captivating and pure expression of this unique grape. Sourced entirely from a single, high-density bush vine vineyard, this wine showcases the vibrant potential of younger vines rooted in rich ironstone soils.

The 100% Garnacha Peluda comes from a single vineyard established in 2018. These high-density bush vines, now 5 years old, thrive in red ironstone soil, yielding a concentrated 6 tons per hectare.

The grapes are meticulously handpicked in the early morning and cooled overnight to 5°C. A portion (60%) is then crushed and destemmed, while the remaining 40% undergoes whole-cluster fermentation in open fermenters. Natural fermentation is encouraged, with gentle punch-downs twice daily for optimal extraction. After fermentation, the wine remains on skins for an additional seven days before being pressed to neutral oak barrels for malolactic fermentation. It spends a total of 10 months in barrel before bottling, receiving only a low dose of sulphur after racking from the lees.

Colour: A beautiful light purple hue.

Nose: An alluring fragrance of rose-petal and dried herbs.

Palate: Juicy, vibrant cherry and strawberry fruit define the palate, offering a lively and refreshing style.

Food Pairings: This versatile wine beautifully complements leaner meat dishes such as lamb, venison, and turkey. It’s also an excellent match for poached salmon, braised duck breast, or savory vegetarian dishes.
