TARDANO GARNACHA RED ALMONACID DE LA SIERRA SPAIN 2022

The grapes for La Portera ‘Tardano’ Garnacha are sourced from two parcels in the village of Almonacid de la Sierra which sit on limestone and clay soils. The vines were planted in 1983 and sit 2100 ft. above sea level. This is a unique take on Garnacha. Full of red cherry, raspberry, licorice and hints of pepper, it is a medium bodied wine that is far from the big and over-extracted style of old-school Spanish Garnacha. Fresh and spicy, with layers of complexity that lure us back for more.
