Salto de Rana 2024 is a young organic red wine made with 100% garnacha in Calatayud, characterized by its intense, fruity, and spicy profile. Vinified in stainless steel to preserve the varietal purity, it stands out for its freshness, medium structure, and juicy character; an accessible, versatile, and highly expressive option of the Viñas Familia Gil style.
The red wine Salto de Rana originates from certified organic vineyards located in the D.O. Calatayud, a region characterized by slate and clay soils that enhance the concentration and mineral expression of garnacha. These vineyards, cultivated with environmentally friendly practices, allow for the production of grapes with great aromatic intensity and balance, resulting in honest, fresh wines with a strong identity.
The grapes undergo maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature, preserving the primary aromas and fruity character. After malolactic fermentation, the wine remains in tanks until bottling, without barrel aging, emphasizing a direct, clean, and expressive style.
Bodegas Ateca, part of the Viñas Familia Gil group, specializes in producing garnacha wines in the D.O. Calatayud. The group's philosophy focuses on working with native varieties, respecting the vineyard and the environment to craft wines that reflect the authenticity of the terroir. Salto de Rana represents their youngest, freshest, and most accessible version, without compromising character or quality.
Salto de Rana 2024 is a highly versatile wine that pairs perfectly with pasta, vegetables, mushrooms, stewed meats, pork, grilled meats, cured meats, and cheeses, adapting equally well to everyday cooking and more intense dishes.
