Beso de Vino Garnacha Rosé
100% Garnacha 13% alcohol Sourced from 40 year-old bush vines planted at 1,300-1,600 feet in pebble-limestone soils. Picked early to preserve freshness and quality. After 8 hours of cold-soaking the free run juice is fermented at low temperatures then bottled with no oak contact. “A savory, just off-dry rosé with scents of mineral, cherry, and raspberry. It has plenty of flavor and a refreshing finish. It is an ideal picnic wine. Grandes Vinos y Viñedos’ collection is replete with stunning values.” – 87 points, The Wine Advocate (2009 vintage) “Bright pink. Raspberry, cherry and floral aromas display good vibrancy and power. Juicy red berry flavors are subtly accented by a hint of white pepper, with tangy acidity adding lift and bite. Finishes smooth and long, leaving a juicy red fruit note behind. This is an excellent value.” – 87 points, Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar (2011 vintage)

More From This Winery
Anayón Garnacha
100% Garnacha
14.5% alcohol
Sourced from old vines planted at 1,935 feet, the wine comes from a 6-acre plot of 70-year old Garnacha with unbeatable conditions: 100% dry land, irrigated solely by rainwater, and planted on stony soils. Yields are so low that only 1 bottle is made from each vine row. After harvest and pressing 20% of the free run juice is bled off to increase the concentration. Fermentation is carried out by gentle delestage; after steeping in the grape pulp for over 28 days, the wine is gently transferred to French and American oak barrels, where it remains for over 10 months. To naturally conserve all the intensity, the wine is not clarified or filtered. The wine has a deep red-violet color with a surprising bouquet of cherries, blueberries and blackberries, offset by mature notes of orange preserves, spicy licorice, mineral and toasted oak. Full-bodied and concentrated to taste, with hints of cocoa, chocolate and cherry.
“This sets the stage for an elegant, spicy, incipiently complex wine that will benefit from another 1-2 years of bottle age. Drink this outstanding effort over the next 8 years.” – 90 Points, Wine Advocate (2008 vintage)
