Virgen de la Sierra 'Lo Brujo' Garnacha 2021 (750ml)
Lo Brujo Garnacha comes from old vine fruit in the rolling red hills of Calatayud. Sustainably farmed fruit comes into the cellar for a natural fermentation in stainless steel, naturally settles in the cod winter, and is aged for 9 months in the bottle before release. It has an expressive bouquet of brambly blackberry, black cherry, red currant, and a healthy dose of spice, in particular black pepper. In the mouth it is full of concentrated berry flavors, lovely spiciness, and a strong yet well-balanced underline of minerality. Made from Garnacha grapes selected from bush vines averaging 50 years in age, this is an outstanding wine at an exceptional value.
