"Menguante Garnacha Seleccion 2012 comes from old vines planted on chalk-rich soils with a 10% slope. The wine is aged for 8 months in French oak barrels. The nose is elegant, with aromas of red berries, hints of smoke and spice, aromatic Mediterranean herbs (thyme, rosemary) and a floral touch that adds elegance and complexity. Medium-bodied and harmonious on the palate, with pleasantly round tannins and moderate acidity. Very good value for money. " (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)
