Wine Clima Garnacha 2022 0,75L

Reasons for study:

• This has been a longstanding variety in the Duero Valley, and it was previously mixed with Albillo, for extra acidity. Old Garnacha shoots were brought in from the Navarran hillsides, most of them red, but also some white and “roya” varieties.
• Long cycle, so it adapts well to the new climate situation.

Initial conclusions:

• Fifteen years ago, this variety did not ripen in the Duero Valley’s extreme conditions. Now, the current conditions do allow it, as long as the yields are controlled.
• To control its vigour and production, leaving grass in the rows is a good way of encouraging competition.
• This is one of the leading varieties in southern Europe, because it thrives in heat, adapts well to dry climates, and, therefore, is resilient to climate change.

Key aspects:

• This variety is highly adaptive: it is able to express, with great versatility, the qualities of the terrain where it is planted.

A wine with an interesting bouquet of ripe red fruit. It lingers on the palate with its bold flavour. A faithful reflection of its vinification, and highly ageworthy.
