Granito Del Cadalso Garnacha Sierra De Gredos Vinos De Madrid 2017 750 ML

It’s worth the hard work, getting concentrated structure from Garnacha, with grainy tannins, lively acidity, red fruit aromas of strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, with a balanced ABV of 13.5%. An easy but concentrated wine.\n \n Producer Information\n \n The vineyards that Daniel and Fernando have assembled are all farmed biodynamically. These vines range from 50 to 80 years old and are planted on sandy soils weathered from granite, slate, and quartz. A combination of high altitude, freely draining soils, and a mild and fairly humid micro-climate – for central Spain – guarantees a long growing season and a modest alcohol level in the finished wines. The resultant wines are startlingly pale, extraordinarily aromatic, and intensely flavorful. Each site is harvested by hand, usually in October, fermented by indigenous yeasts in open-top French oak casks, then aged in a combination of 500-700L French oak barrels, foudre, and clay amphorae.
