Tasting Notes

This 100% Garnacha de Aragón shows ripe sour cherry, strawberry, blood orange, floral tones, vermouth hints, gentle field herbs, and a wet-rock mineral edge. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with lightly robust tannins, balanced tart acidity, creamy red-fruited persistence, and a fresh spicy finish.

Food Paring

Pair this bold Spanish Garnacha with grilled beef, lamb, poultry, pasta, or game to match its ripe red fruit, spice, and generous texture. It is also a great value choice for tapas, smoky barbecue, and weeknight dishes that call for a fruit-forward red with freshness and power.

Professional Reviews

"Grown at high elevation, the 2023 Garnacha De Fuego is aged in stainless and concrete tank to soften the tannins, from head-trained, dry-farmed vines planted decades ago. There’s a spiciness to the front of the palate that evolves into a creamy center of strawberry, blood orange, and wet rock-like texture, buoyed by ample freshness from the tart acidity. Full-bodied, it has considerable concentration and power."

Region Information

Calatayud is a Spanish wine region in Aragón, recognized for bold red wines made primarily from old‑vine Garnacha. High‑altitude vineyards, low rainfall, and slate‑rich soils contribute to concentrated wines with deep color and intense fruit expression. Calatayud wines are valued for power, structure, and dramatic terroir influence.

Spain has the largest vineyard area in the world and a winemaking history that spans thousands of years. It is known for regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat, which produce distinctive red wines. Spain is also famous for fortified wines like Sherry and sparkling Cava. Modern investments and techniques have elevated quality while preserving regional identity.
