Anciano Clásico Garnacha Valencia
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Mostly non-irrigated vineyards with low yields. Terres dels Alforins is a fertile valley in the south west of the province and is called the “Valencian Tuscany”: a multitude of small plots between the sea and the “meseta” where vines have been tended since Roman times.
Varietal Composition: 85% Garnacha, 10% Tempranillo, 5% Monastrell
Elaboration: Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks for 7 days at 72º F and then a portion of the wine is matured in oak barrels for 7 months.
Tasting Notes: Bright and intensely vibrant red fruit aromas with generous, smooth red and black berry flavors, soft tannins and a nice touch of spice from the oak.
