Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Smoky chorizo, roasted pumpkin, and shaved Manchego salad
  • Grilled chicken legs with tangy pomegranate salsa
  • Roasted duck

This phenomenal Spanish find explores the softer side of Grenache, coaxing bright pomegranate, red plum, and stewed raspberry fruit from 100 year old Garnacha vines. Polished, sleek, and graceful in the mouth, with a delicate measure of exotic spice and wet leaves on the nose.
