Compelling Grenache, or Garnacha in this case, brings rich fruit, white pepper, fine grained tannins and vibrant acidity. It’s all here, with black cherry and lemon zest taking center stage. The pepper element sits in fine balance with the fruit and comingles beautifully through an extended finish. It’s a fine value and should be pretty easy to find. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
