Winemaker Borja Ripa has crafted a seductive and silky Garnacha from a 2.28ha vineyard planted in 1981 in Aldeanueva de Ebro, Rioja Oriental. Soils here are clay and loam with a high percentage of stones and white pebbles. The wine is fermented in open 3,000-litre vats with gentle, daily punch-downs, followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak. It is aged for about 10 months in barrel and then left in concrete tanks before bottling. Beth Willard: A classy, opulent, almost voluptuous Garnacha, this has gained in flesh and weight over time but hasn’t lost any of its fruit expression. Ends with a seductive, syrupy, fruity finish. Valentin Radosav: Gorgeous and vivacious plum and cherry fruit, balanced by lovely evolution notes of leather and forest floor. A touch of sage, tarragon and coffee. Diana Rollan: Plenty of dark fruit, with tobacco leaf and sandalwood notes. A full-bodied style with pronounced ripe tannnins, balanced oak and a textured finish. Holding its age with grace.
