Castillo Clavijo Garnacha
D.O.C.a Rioja
Grape Variety
100% Garnacha Tinta.
Harvest
Manual, in small cases during mid-september.
Vineyards
A selection of younger vines with an average age of 20 years located in the heart of Rioja (villages of Clavijo, Alberite, Villamediana and surroundings) and planted at higher altitudes in order to maximize the variety’s fresh, fruity nature.
Vinification
In stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature of 26°C and kept on its fine lees for at least 4 months before bottling.
Tasting Notes
Incredibly fresh and fruit-forward with notes of strawberries, tart cherries, spring flowers, and loamy soil undertones in a medium-bodied, pure format. Vibrant acidity and silky tannins make this an easy-drinking red. Enjoy with Mediterranean cuisine and everyday favorites such as pizza/panini, pasta, burgers, grilled vegetables and mild cheeses.
