Organic/Bio Will Aragon’s Sierra de Gúdar be the next new exciting Spanish wine region? We’re not sure, but this gorgeous red suggests we should keep an eye out. Juanvi Viticultor is working to revive his nearly abandoned home region by finding and nurturing old, often abandoned, vineyards and shepherding their fruit into delicious, vivid, wines. Here he’s working with 70% Garnacha and 30% Tempranillo all grown at altitude from vines planted as recently as 2008 and as long ago as the 1930s. The fruit is destemmed but not crushed and starts fermentation whenever the native yeast gets to work and aged just a few months in stainless steel.
It's delicious and enlivening with a juicy feel and gentle, tangy, bite. Early season blackberry and raspberry fruit aromas and flavors gain complexity from a note of light-roasted coffee bean and then satisfy with growing ripe raspberry flavors on the flowing finish. You’ll feel the impact of sunny days in the ripe flavors and cool/cold mountain nights in the zippy, mouthwatering, finish. Delicious solo and will all kinds of foods from lentil salads to grilled seafood and roasted beef or lamb.
