Wines made from Garnacha grapes of Méntrida
Discover the best wines made with Garnacha as a single variety or as a blend of Méntrida.
Generous, warm reds with an evolving ruby robe, smooth tannins and an ample palate, showing intense aromas of ripe red fruits (cherry, candied raspberry), garrigue, dry herbs, spices, liquorice and sun-drenched notes. Also in luscious rosés and sweet wines (Banyuls). Absolute star of Priorat DOQ, pillar of Rioja DOCa, Garnacha de Aragón, Campo de Borja DO, Calatayud DO and Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC. Aragonese autochthonous variety, one of the most planted worldwide.
DO in northwest Toledo (Castilla-La Mancha), extreme continental climate, granitic soils, centenarian vines. Garnacha Tinta is the signature red king (>80%) in qualitative renaissance: finesse and mineral precision with red cherry, raspberry, dried flowers, herbs and pepper, silky tannins and airy transparency — compared to Pinot Noir. Tempranillo and Syrah as complements. Floral Albillo as white.
