Malayeto Garnacha
Malayeto was the first wine to be launched in our series of terroir-focused wines. From Fitero, the only place in Navarra located in the Iberian Mountains, just on the geological border between the Sierra de Cameros mountains and the Ebro river basin. The Malayeto parcel is found at latitude of 42.05 and an altitude of 520 metres, the soils are rocky and stony, with variegated clays (heterogeneous), limestone and composite soils. These characteristics, in conjunction with the continental climate, mean that the roots have to burrow deep into the soil to find water. We are working on improving the biodiversity of this vineyard, as well as taking active steps to recuperate the native flora. Along with sustainable viticulture practices, these factors define the unique terroir of a sole plot of land. It is a complex vintage, marked by the last month in harvest, there were almost perfect conditions until September, when torrential rains complicated matters. Sorting, selecting, and discarding grapes was key, after this, surprisingly, we are facing one of our top vintages ever. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel and concrete vats, using just indigenous yeast, 12 months ageing in 500-liter one and two years used frech barrel and in 4.500-liter wooden tank. Appearance: Clear, medium intensity, ruby colour wine. Nose: Clean, high intensity fresh aromas of black fruit such us blackberry, blackcurrant, also black pepper, cedar and earthy notes. Palate: Dry and fresh, soft tannins and medium body. Black fruit flavours, mineral hints and a long finish.
