“The 2018 Albada Garnacha Red was made from grapes grown on old vines and aged on the lees for seven months. It has an approachable aromatic profile, with soft fruit and polished tannins. It is easy to drink and representative of both the grape variety and the region. It is powerful yet retains its balance and elegance.”

About the wine:
Another lovely Grenache. This one reveals notes of elderberries, blackberries, ferns, heather, hyacinth, and lavender. Medium-bodied with plenty of acidity. The minerality really surprises and draws you in. Bright and rugged on the moderately smooth finish. Best enjoyed now.
