"Dark garnet in color, this wine has a nose of black currant and butterscotch. It is juicy at first sip, offering dark and red berry flavors, but there is also a touch of complexity in the formof dark chocolate and baking-spice flavors and plush tannins that linger on the palate." Mark DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast

“Some white pepper with a wet leaf note to the vibrant red cherries and strawberries. Juicy and composed on the medium-bodied palate with fine, dusty tannins. A simple yet very drinkable and well-balanced garnacha here.” James Suckling

Grade 9 - De Grote Hamersma
“That is the advantage of those wine development areas of which there are still quite a few in Spain. Calatayud was hardly known until recently, while they have been working with grapes there for over a thousand years, especially the garnacha. Castillo de Maluenda knows that and seduces him to generous ripe red fruit, fig sweetness, sunny spices, vanilla flakes, melted bitter chocolate plus even depth and intelligence. Olé.” De Grote Hamersma

The historic Castillo de Maluenda winery in Aragon boasts excellent terroir: high-altitude vineyards with a slate subsoil and a cooling wind from the Sierra de la Virgen mountains.
This fantastic 100% Garnacha from the 2022 harvest year has had a subtle, short maturation in 225 litre oak barrels for three months.

In this deep garnet red wine, reflections of purple dance. A bouquet of cherries, blueberries, sweet spices, vanilla, and chocolate fills the glass. The palate begins with a fresh start, followed by impressions of cocoa powder, herbs, and sweet mocha. Its silky tannins contribute to an elegant and straightforward experience, while a lingering finish carries hints of herbs. A true testament to the Garnacha grape, this wine serves as a tribute to Raíces Ibéricas.

Excellent wine to serve with lamb, duck breast with cherry sauce, ossobuco, grilled white meat or hard cheeses.
