Grego Garnacha Centenaria Red wine
Winemaking:
The quality of this wine begins in the plans themselves, cared for with the utmost care. From the beginning of August, grape samples begin to be sampled in the same plots, to monitor ripeness and quality that will determine the optimal point of the fruit and its harvest date. Harvested by hand, at the coolest hours of the day and in 20Kg boxes, to respect the quality of the grapes as much as possible. Fermentation takes place in 10,000l tanks (no more, to control fermentation as much as possible) at a controlled temperature (22 - 29ºC). Fermentation and maceration of 26 days with two pump-overs per day. For the fermentation of these grapes, the most modern technology and oenological products of the highest quality are used, always based on the innovations of this wine sector. Once the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, which is so important in quality red wines.
Ageing:
The wine goes to 225l barrels without any type of treatment (without clarifying). The barrels are made of French (50%) and American (50%) oak, where it remains on the days that the winemaker deems
appropriate. During this time, the wine acquires complexity and elegance, two characteristics that mark this GREGO Garnacha Centenaria.
Beautiful intense cherry color with violet edges. Very fine aromas of high intensity, with great complexity (fruit-wood). Red fruits at their optimum seasoning. On the palate it is meaty and tasty, with a very long aftertaste. A great wine very elegant and attractive.
Wine suitable for consumption with succulent dishes based on meats, legumes and complex stews, in the same way that it is excellent to consume alone or with the accompaniment of assorted tapas.
