The Sierra Cantabria Garnacha comes from vineyards planted in 1927, located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. DO. California Rioja. The vineyards are grown ecologically with only organic fertilizers and with a very (deliberately) low yield of only 28 Hls. / Ha. The 100% Garnacha (Grenache) is harvested by hand and ferments with purely native yeasts with malolactic fermentation in oak (15% new French and 85% 1 year old). The wine is allowed to mature for 14 months in oak barrels. The Sierra Cantabria Garnacha is the Atlantic expression of the Sonsierra region. The influence of the Atlantic Ocean makes this garnacha complex and elegant. The wine is wonderfully fresh with the maximum expression of the fruit. Hermanos Eguren has turned this Garnacha into a fruity wine that is fresh, expressive and very balanced.
