"The entry-level 2017 Garnacha Rouge is an amazing value, as it comes from old, dry-farmed, head-pruned vineyards in the village of Fitero. [...] It is a juicy and delicious Garnacha that is truly flavorful. The estate is really coming into its own, and each vintage seems to be better than the last. A great Garnacha at a good price."

About wine:

The entry-level 2017 Garnacha Rouge is an amazing value, as it comes from old, dry-farmed, head-pruned vineyards in the village of Fitero. It was fermented in whole clusters, in stainless steel, with indigenous yeasts and bottled without wood to preserve freshness and acidity. This is lively and fresh due to the early harvest and the use of stems, as conditions this year are hot and very dry. It is a juicy and delicious Garnacha that is truly flavorful. The estate is really gaining momentum, and each vintage seems to be better than the last. A great Garnacha at a good price.

A finish that tastes like raspberry candy is not what I expect from a wine...

Fruit vinified with finesse and precision, smooth with a very slight hint of fortified wine. Very good.
