Bodegas Manzanos, Finca Manzanos Garnacha, Rioja, 2020

This young, inexpensive red with barely six months of ageing in American oak performed really well when tasted blind. Grapes are sourced from a mechanically harvested, 80ha vineyard in San Adrián, Navarra. It delivered lots of flowers and blueberry aromas on the nose, while the palate was fresh and delicious. A great example of how Garnacha can bring endless pleasure.
