Garnacha Tinta

Description

Bunches are medium-sized and compact, with medium-sized, spherical and thin-skinned violet-red berries. This variety produces deep vermilion-coloured wines with powerful jammy and spicy aromas and good acidity that makes them suitable for ageing in oak casks to bring out balsamic, toasty and mineral undertones. Except when the vines are very old, the wines are balanced, meaty and moderately tannic. This variety is used to make aromatic rosé wines (such as those of Navarre), concentrated reds with blackberry aromas (such as those of the D.O. Campo de Borja) or magnificent reds in the D.O.Ca. Priorat. It is sometimes called “the Cinderella of wines”, as the same variety can be used to make both simple wines and complex, elegant wines.
