Especial Garnacha

Vintage: 2018

Production: 1.633 bottles

Varieties: 100% Garnatxa

Winemaking: Harvested by hand, selection of the vines with less natural grape load. Prefermentative maceration for four days. Spontaneous fermentation for eighteen days. Unclarified. Very gentle filtering at bottling.

Bottling: 8th June of 2020, waning gibbous moon.

Winemaker’s note: They say that bottling the wines in Luna “turning off” is positive for the guard. First impressions of a very special plot for us. Garnatxa Negra, combined with 15% slopes and a sandy loam soil very disaggregated and with little presence of “tapaç”. Here it shows a very subtle side. At the same time the fermentation was spontaneous and this led us to obtain an even more authentic wine.
