Comments

An honest expression of the character of the original clones worldwide of the Garnacha grape. Calatayud is Spain’s highest altitude zone for the cultivation of Garnacha, and produces wines that are incredibly intense yet balanced. The slate soils impart a phenomenal minerality to Brega. Primary source records which date back to the 7th century demonstrate the cultivation of Garnacha in the medieval kingdom of Aragón.
