Tasting Notes
Compared to Valautín 2022, Los Peros is much jammier. But it's still charming, beautiful, and sophisticated. Notes of strawberry, fried nuts, night flowers, and earthy undertones. Like Valautín, it shines more on the palate with balance, juiciness, and a slightly bitter herb-like finish. Definitely a neat wine.
About
This Garnacha Tinta originates from the Los Peros vineyard, located at 850 metres above sea level with vines around 100 years old growing in granitic soils with red granite outcrops. The vineyard is part of a Special Protection Area for Birds and the Natura 2000 network. It is dry-farmed and organically cultivated, registered with the CAEM. The grapes are harvested manually in 15 kg crates, undergo spontaneous fermentation with gentle maceration for 60 days, and are aged for one year in 500-litre French oak barrels.
