Secastilla Somontano Tinto 2010

Introduction

This wine is the purest expression of a northern Garnacha, grown in the mountains at high altitude, close to the Pyrenees. It also displays the finesse that comes from the vines being so well-established in this particular terroir, having been planted back in the 40s. The wine is medium and displays the aromas that are typical of the variety, complemented by subtle aromas of toast from the oak and a perceptible minerality on the palate that feels quite hedonistic. This is a wine that is very evocative of the land it hails from.
