Vina Temprana 2023 ‘Old Vines Garnacha’, Campo De Borja DO

Vina Temprana is an outstanding representation of organic Garnacha, showcasing the rich terroir of Campo de Borja in Aragón, Spain. This 2023 Viña Temprana 'Old Vines Garnacha' is crafted from meticulously tended vines with an impressive age of over 25 years, ensuring deep flavors and complexity. The region, famously dubbed the "Empire of Garnacha," benefits from vineyards located at elevations of 1,150 to 1,800 feet above sea level on calcareous, lime-rich soils. This unique environment, coupled with a continental climate influenced by Mediterranean conditions, contributes to the wine's distinctive profile.

The winemaking process for this particular vintage involves ten days of maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel, allowing for optimal extraction of flavors and aromas. The resulting wine presents a gorgeous ruby red color that is clean and bright in the glass. Upon swirling, it reveals medium-intensity, complex aromas of spices intermingled with ripe red fruits, such as raspberry and cherry.

On the palate, the 2023 Viña Temprana 'Old Vines Garnacha' is smooth, fresh, and inviting, offering a delightful fruitiness complemented by supple tannins. Hints of white pepper add an intriguing layer of complexity, making it a fantastic choice for various pairings.
