Grape: Garnacha TintoreraVintage: 2021Type: Red This low-intervention red wine is produced by the Envínate cooperative from dry-farmed garnacha tintorera vineyards in Almansa. The old vines are rooted in clay-limestone soils managed under organic viticulture guidelines to optimize natural grape balance. Winemaking involves a spontaneous native yeast fermentation with a high proportion of whole clusters in neutral concrete vats, prioritizing gentle infusion over heavy extraction. Aged naturally in neutral containers before an unfiltered bottling, it preserves an authentic regional identity. It pours a dark ruby color with purple edges, opening with complex aromas of wild blackberry, dark plum, and Mediterranean aromatic herbs. A medium-bodied frame pairs concentrated dark fruit flavors with a firm, stem-driven tannin profile. Savory notes of cracked black pepper and crushed limestone develop as the wine breathes in the glass. A clean vein of natural acidity runs underneath, keeping the mouthfeel fresh and light. It finishes completely dry, leaving a lingering mineral trail.
