Dominio del Challao Rioja Garnacha 2020
From the importer:
The Garnacha from Challao comes from a single 1 ha plot planted in the 1960s called Las Ginebras, the terroir is situated on top of silty powdery calcareous sands in the village of Labastida and is the highest elevation Grenache found in all of Rioja. It is a site for Garnacha like no other in Spain, significantly cooler than anything found in Gredos or Navarra. The Garnacha is fermented with 70% whole clusters that are foot trodden and then layered on top of de-stemmed grapes that are meticulously uncrushed. The maceration is approximately 35 days and matured in used tight grained 500L French and Austrian Oak for 20 months.
