Aires de Garbet 2014

Sea and mountain, land and water, warmth and freshness. A wine influenced by the Tramuntana, a strong north wind that keeps the vineyards in a very healthy state. A small production from Garnacha vines planted in 1997 and growing on terraces, lit by the first rays of sun in the morning.   The wine is produced by winemaker, Delfí Sanahuja, from grapes harvested by hand, fermented with native yeasts, and aged for 12 months in 2^nd-year French oak barrels. This is a wine with a pure varietal expression that pleases wine connoisseurs and novices alike.

Appearance: Cherry red hue of medium intensity, clean and bright, with nice tears.

Nose: Very aromatic, ripe red fruit, Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary, aniseed herbs, balsamic notes, mineral and earthy.

Palate: Enveloping silkiness that allows the fruit to come to the fore, with a long, fruity, intense finish.

Comment: A wine of great complexity, which refuses to bow to fads or fashions, but remains faithful to its terrain, its grape variety and its climate. A Garnacha of Mediterranean climate, planted in the slate soil of a unique vineyard in a location that is a gift of nature.  An intense and mineral red wine, full-bodied and elegant, enveloping and silky, fresh and full of flavour.  A Garnacha with its feet in the slate, its head well exposed to the sun, its gaze turned to the Mediterranean Sea, and its back to the Cap de Creus.
