Cruz de Piedra Garnacha

Product Code: 79794

Spain is rich in excellent vineyard sites, populated by gnarly old bush vines producing meagre yields of wonderful fruit. Cruz de Piedra is made in a modern-style but remains true to its mountainous, rugged roots.

Tasting Notes : Intense red berry flavours parry an attack of spice. Smooth as silk on the palate with great structure and balance.

Producer : Virgen de la Sierra

Method of Production : Hand-picked from 50 year old bush vines yielding tiny quantities of deliciously concentrated fruit, the grapes were destalked, crushed and fermented for 15 days in epoxy-lined tanks. Extended maceration for 2-3 weeks extracted colour, flavour and tannins. The wine was pressed off the skins, went through malolactic fermentation and then underwent a period of lees contact. After a gentle fining and filtration, the wine was bottled.

Superb wine, full of fruit and great value for money. Essential let it breath though, the more it breaths the better it gets.
