Bodegas Breca 'El Nacido' Garnacha Calatayud, 2021

Regular price $16.00

This wine is made of 100% Garnacha de Aragón, the oldest clone of Garnacha in the world. Sourced from younger bush vines at very high altitudes, this is Breca's freshest expression of Garnacha from Calatayud. This wine shows prominent flavors of dark cherries and grilled plums with an added minerality from the slate and quartz soils of the region. Powerful but light, this Garnacha will sure to please with some creative barbecue: grilled garam masala lamb chops or a smoky seared octopus over boiled potatoes, garnished with olive oil and paprika.

Details

From our Importer:

Munébrega, in southeastern D.O. Calatayud, in the valley formed by the Sierra de Pardos and Sierra de Peña Blanca. 100% Garnacha de Aragón, the oldest clone of Garnacha (Grenache) in the world.

Garnacha was first cultivated in this northeastern corner of Spain and propagated across the Mediterranean by the Crown of Aragón. Sourced from the villages in the Sierra de Pardos: Castejón de Alarba, Nuevalos, and Olves. Traditional dry farmed viticulture. Practicing organic goblet trained vines. In challenging years, the winery sprays with copper sulfate once per growing season. Calatayud is characterized by rocky slate and quartz soils that date back to the Cambrian and Silurian periods. Slate is the common soil component, and depending on altitude or location, is either found as a pure slate soil, or slate intermixed with iron rich clay or calcareous clay. Continental Mediterranean climate - very cold winters, hot summers, and drastic diurnal shifts.

The hand-harvested bunches are destemmed and the whole berries are comacerated in stainless steel tank and concrete tank. Fermentation is started with a pied de cuve and maceration lasts for no longer than 10 days. Pressed in pneumatic press. Primary fermentation completes and malolactic fermentation begins spontaneously in stainless steel (70%) and 500L & 600L puncheons and demi-muids that date back to 2010. Eight months in concrete (70%) and 500L & 600L puncheons and demi muids (30%).

Breca El Nacido is Bodegas Breca's freshest expression of the Garnacha from Calatayud - sourced from younger bush vines planted at extremely high altitudes. The estate also blends in a small percentage of white grapes that are coplanted in the local vineyards.
