This Spanish blend combines Syrah with touches of Garnacha and Garnacha Tintorera, harvested from high-altitude old vineyards in Campo de Borja. The winemaking approach is delibera tely minimal, co-fermentation with some whole bunches, brief maceration, and just four months aging in seasoned French oak barrels ensures the terroir speaks clearly. El Risco Red delivers exactly what honest winemaking should: authentic character without pretence. The high-altitude vineyards contribute intensity and balance, while the restrained oak treatment preserves the wine's natural vibrancy and regional expression. This bottle is for wine lovers who appreciate substance over flash, those who value authentic, terroir-driven wines that deliver remarkable quality without unnecessary intervention. Why It Stands Out Old Vine Complexity: Deep flavours from established high-altitude vineyards. Minimal Intervention: Co-fermented with restraint to preserve authenticity. Thoughtful Aging: Brief French oak contact for structure without dominance. Terroir-Focused: A genuine expression of Campo de Borja's character. Tasting Notes Expect a dark, spice-driven red with wild berry notes and remarkable smoothness on the finish, a wine of genuine depth that remains approachable and enjoyable at the table.
