The wine region of Calatayud

DO of Aragon at altitude (550-1,040 m), kingdom of Garnacha (>75% of the vineyard) — Garnacha de Aragon clone genetically the most intact in the world. Concentrated signature reds with notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, blackberry, garrigue, sweet spices and a peppery touch, round tannins and a sunny palate — old vines (up to 100 years) give depth. 'Superior' designation for Garnacha over 50 years old. Harsh continental climate, schist soils.


The wine region of Aragon

Autonomous community of northeast Spain, historic kingdom of Iberian red Grenache (~75%). Signature Garnacha: generous and sun-drenched with signature ripe cherry, crushed strawberry, garrigue, kirsch, sweet spice and a balsamic touch, round tannins and a warm, alcoholic palate. 4 major DOs: Cariñena the largest (old vines), Calatayud high-altitude, Campo de Borja and Somontano at the Pyrenean foothills. Fresh Macabeo and Garnacha blanca whites.

The word of the wine: Mercaptan

Organic compound resulting from the combination of alcohol and sulphide (H2S) producing an unpleasant odour reminiscent of town gas and rotten eggs.
