Campo Viejo Garnacha (75cl, 14%)

A red wine made entirely from Grenache, sourced from old vines in the warmer Rioja Baja sub-region of Rioja DOCa, Spain. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats at around 25°C with a 12-day skin maceration, followed by four months in French oak barrels. The wine shows ripe strawberry, raspberry, black cherry and blackberry, with violet, lilac and sweet spice, plus a hint of toast. The palate is juicy and fruit-forward with bright acidity, cranberry, blueberry and cola-like spice, supported by fine-grained, silky tannins. The finish is long, with tart cherry fading into subtle leather and toasted notes.
