At Pago de Vallegarcía they are masters at adapting varieties, and with this blend they have hit the nail on the head. They use the Garnacha to put the fruit and the kindness, and the Cariñena to provide the acidity and structure that keeps the wine vibrant and upright. Although it originates in the Montes de Toledo, its soul faces east, seeking that expression of scrubland and filtered sunlight.
It has a short breeding period, of about 6 months in French oak barrels, Just enough to smooth the rough edges, but letting the grape take center stage in the glass. It's a wine of modern cut, With a beautiful color and a lively mouthfeel, it's perfect for those seeking something sophisticated that doesn't require an instruction manual to be enjoyed. It is, quite simply, pure equilibrium.
What will you notice?
A nose that's a walk in the park: wild strawberries, raspberries and notes of aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary) with a very refreshing balsamic touch. It's a delight on the palate: Light, juicy and with impeccable acidity which makes it very easy to drink. There are no harsh tannins, just a silky texture that makes you want another sip.
Why choose it:
Because it is the perfect red wine for any time of year. It's ideal for those times when a wine with too much oak becomes heavy. It pairs wonderfully with pasta, meat rice dishes, sausages, or even oily fish. It's that wine you bring to a dinner party and everyone asks you where you got it because "it goes down so easily".
Attention freshness seekers:
Don't expect a dark, dense red wine; this wine is light and fluidity. If you serve it slightly chilled (around 14-15ºC), you'll see how the fruit bursts and becomes the star of the show. Warning: Its drinkability is almost legendary. If you blink, the bottle will have vanished between conversations.
