Organic Garnacha
2024 BOTA BOTA Organic Garnacha
Tasting note
Found in the unique area of Almonacid de la Sierra, vibrant raspberry and wild strawberry characters come through on the nose and palate. These are coupled with the crunchy and energetic cranberry notes that give this wine so much vitality and drinkability.
Food Pairing
The tannins are supple and silky soft making them ideally suited for casual occasions and pairing with Mediterranean dishes such as roasted vegetables, mezze or simply… pizza.
Origin
Almonacid de la Sierra, Cariñena.
Varietal
100% Garnacha.
Soil
Alluvial (formed by sediments from the Jalón and Huerva rivers). Stony with a calcareous substrate and a good amount of clay, these soils are ideal for drought resistance.
Winemaking
The grapes are destemmed but left whole-berry (not crushed). Fermentation is initiated spontaneously by native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Approximately halfway through primary fermentation, the must is separated from the skins and seeds and gently pressed. The resulting juice finishes fermentation in the tank, minimizing further phenolic extraction, which results in a fresh, light red style. The finished wine is racked a few times to clarify naturally before preparation for bottling.
