Grassl Philipp Reserve 2019 0,75l

Granito del Cadalso comes from the Sierra de Gredos near Madrid and is made from 100% Garnacha. The vines grow on sandy, granitic soils around the village of Cadalso de los Vidrios, many between 20 and 70 years old. Hand harvesting and native-yeast fermentation in concrete tanks, with around two weeks of maceration, give a pure, unadorned expression of the terroir. The bouquet offers red berries, cherry, blood orange, wild herbs and a hint of bay leaf. On the palate the wine is juicy and medium-bodied yet remarkably fine, with chalky tannins and vibrant freshness. A characterful, contemporary Garnacha that shines slightly chilled with tapas, grilled vegetables or roast poultry.

Barrique ageing gives the mature cuvée structure, depth and elegant, mature spice.
