Gredos Garnacha

Very stylish, very pale garnacha from the up-and-coming Gredos mountain range of Spain, whose altitude combined with granite soils are making reds of exceptional freshness and finesse. The Surco is very pale, light and pure, with lovely juicy, fresh berry fruit, mineral energy and a bit of edge on the finish. A Pie de Tierra is one of the emerging stars of the region.

Very pale, lifted and elegant Cebreros garnacha with notes of sloe berry, rhubarb, and pine on the nose, incredibly pure and lively with some spice and burnt orange on the palate.

Rubén Díaz of the Viñadores de Gredos is firmly part of the artisanal movement in Sierra de Gredos. His path into winemaking began almost by accident, sparked by curiosity after someone attempted to buy planting rights in one of his family’s vineyards. That moment led him to explore the region more deeply, where he quickly fell for the character of the old garnacha vines and began focusing on small, site-specific micro-vinifications across this mountainous landscape where garnacha thrives. Working organically and alongside animals in the vineyards, Escalera comes from a tiny high-altitude plot at around 1,000 metres. In the glass, it has a deep purple hue and a distinctly mineral profile, with rich, vibrant notes of pomegranate and plum. Around 12–13 days of maceration lend fine but firm, almost nebbiolo-like tannins, giving this fleshy garnacha wine both structure and energy. The result is vivid, complete, and beautifully knitted together.
