Viticulture
This particular Garnacha vineyard was planted in 1981 in the town of Aldeanueva de Ebro (La Rioja). It is a vineyard of 2.28 Ha located on a hillside at 420 metres with a West to East orientation where it has excellent light and temperature conditions. A low-yielding vineyard where the quality of the grapes is so exceptional it is used only for the Viñedo Singular Palacio de Manzanos. Sited on clay loam soil, of medium depth the soil is dotted with boulders and small stones. A continental Mediterranean climate where winters are long and cold, with rains moderate, and summers are short and hot with a strong temperature contrast between day and night. In addition, it is an area that is characterized by the influence a dry and cold north westerly wind called 'Cierzo' that crosses over the Ebro river valley.
Tasting Note
This wine has a complex and elegant nose, highlighting the aromas of ripe and concentrated red and black fruit. Forest fruits such as cherry, redcurrant and blackberry hit the nose as well as spicy and balsamic nuances topped off with roasted and dairy notes coming from the aging in their best barrels. In the mouth it is round, concentrated and well balanced with well-integrated medium-high acidity. Persistent and expressive with a fine tannin, this is a wine that expresses the notes and the character of a Grenache typical of this terroir.
Food Matching
Cured cheeses, grilled meats, game and traditional stews.
