Garnacha de Arrayán 2016
Descripción
Garnacha procedente de un pequeño viñedo de menos de una hectárea de extensión enclavado en el término municipal abulense de Cebreros, a casi 1.000 metros de altitud sobre suelos pizarrosos. Este viñedo que es una auténtica joya es el germen de un tinto sumamente elegante, marcado por los toques minerales. Excelente forma de mostrarnos la gran tipicidad de las laderas pizarrosas de esta zona de las estribaciones de la Sierra de Gredos.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2016 Garnacha de Arrayán was produced with grapes from a single vineyard planted in 1950 at 960 meters in altitude in the zone of Los Galayos in Cebreros (Ávila). The soils have a laminar, slate-like texture and produce powerful wines. It fermented with 40% stems in a 4,300-liter oak vat with indigenous yeasts where the wine later matured for a period of 16 months. It has the darker and more expansive character of the slate soils, which is really noticeable when tasted next to the other Garnacha that comes from granite. This has depth and feels earthier. It also has an earthier texture that is grainy and seems to call for powerful food. 6,030 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2018.
This really vibrant garnacha shows off its bouquet of blueberries, raspberries, citrus and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied and precise on the palate, which is tangy and quite firm on the finish. Juicy and delicious. Drink now.

Agradable sin complejidades. RCP no óptima por su “alto” precio.
Un vino casi en peligro de extinción Siempre me han llamado la atención los vinos de garnacha de Cebreros Quizás repita aunque carete
Muy bueno una garnacha muy bien ensamblada, mineral y largo
