"The entry-level 2017 Red Garnacha is an amazing value, as it comes from old, dry-farmed, head-pruned vineyards in the village of Fitero. [...] This is a juicy, delicious Garnacha that's really tasty. The estate is really coming into its own and each vintage seems to be better than the last. A great Garnacha at a great price." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker)

About the wine:

The entry-level 2017 Garnacha red is a stunning value, as it comes from old, dry-farmed, head-pruned vineyards in the village of Fitero. It was fermented in whole bunches, in stainless steel, with indigenous yeasts and bottled wood-free to preserve freshness and acidity. This is lively and fresh due to the early harvest and the use of stalks as the conditions of the year are hot and very dry. It's a juicy, delicious Garnacha that's really tasty. The estate is really coming into its own and each vintage seems to be better than the last. A great Garnacha at a great price.

Great drinkability for this Grenache, which stays close to the fruit and can be enjoyed without fuss around the barbecue.

A finish that tastes like raspberry candy, not what I expect from a wine...

Fruit vinified with finesse and acuity, suave + a hint, very slightly, of mutated wine. Very good.
