Description

Bodegas Care Finca Bancales Single Vineyard 2020

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Garnacha from old vines of over 80 years old. This comes as a single vineyard wine from the Finca Bancales vineyard in Carinena, Aragon, Spain

The vineyard lies about 600 metres above sea level, with balanced soils of clay, quartzites and some chalk on the western side. It's a low fertile soil with high carbonate content

Taste Profile: The wine shows an attractive red color with bright reflections. Aromas of clean blackberry fruit accompanied by mocha and spice. The palate displays sweet fruit characters dominated by blackberry and plum, complimented by cinnamon, clove and nutmeg characters. The wine is full bodied with natural tannin and oak maturation adding texture and complexity to the wine.

Winemaking Process: After alcoholic fermentation, the wine remains macerated with the skins for 15 days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in tanks. The wine is then transferred to French oak barrels, where it ages for 12 months

Deep, fruit-driven and jammy; filled with ripe, rich fruit and a plethora of spices. This style is typified by Australian Shiraz, Sonoma Zinfandel and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
