Wines made from Garnacha grapes of Rioja Baja
Discover the best wines made with Garnacha as a single variety or as a blend of Rioja Baja.
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.
Eastern sub-region of DOCa Rioja (renamed Rioja Oriental in 2018, warm Mediterranean climate, ferruginous alluvial soils). Garnacha: sunlit, opulent red with ripe red fruit, plum, gentle spice, garrigue and a balsamic-fleshy edge — generous alcohol, soft acidity. Tempranillo adds structure with red fruit and leather. Full-flavoured everyday wines with vibrant fruit.
