ABOUT THE WINE
When Calatayud achieved DO status in 1990, it became Aragon’s second-largest quality wine-producing region after Cariñena. Since then, it has been upgrading and perfecting its wines, with both cooperative and private bodegas undertaking progressive improvements. Vinedos de Altura is one of those talented, progressive cooperatives, with 90-year-old Garnacha vines in the mountains of Calatayud. Following manual harvest to ensure the highest quality, this wine is an excellent expression from the region.
TASTING NOTES
Intense cherry colour. Black fruits and red berries aroma combined with excellent minerality, spices and balsamic notes. Twelve months in French Oak adds complexity to the wine, followed by a juicy, full-body. The palate is round with added freshness and elegant tannins. The finish is balanced, long and extremely pleasant!
FOOD PAIRING
Delicious with sirloin or T-bone steak. Wild game also works really well, along with an aged cheese board.
