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)

100% Cariñena
14% alcohol

Cariñena is a complicated variety that has to be closely monitored to ensure even ripeness. Anayón Cariñena relies on unparalleled site selection, defined by well-balanced, low-yield vines that produce concentrated fruit. Fermentation is carried out by gentle delestage (rack-and-return); after steeping in the grape pulp for over 25 days, it is put into new French and American barrels for 10 months. The result is a wine with great concentration and personality. It stands out because of its intense ruby red color, with violet hues more commonly found in a younger wine. The wine has great aromatic intensity, showing mineral notes of slate and graphite mixed with ripe fruit and floral, as well as spicy wood characteristics. Intense on the palate, it has mild tannins and acidity typical of the variety, making it very fresh, but long-lasting.

“The grapes are highly selected from a very old plot of Cariñena grapes fermented and macerated for 25 days and aged in French oak barrels for ten months. This is one of the few Cariñenas from Cariñena as the grape represents no more than 5% of the vineyards of the appellation. 4,944 bottles produced.” – 90 Points, Wine Advocate (2012 vintage)
