Old Vines

2011 Calatayud Garnacha

Amathia Old Vines Garnacha from the 2011 vintage is a stunning representation of the Calatayud region, known for its high-altitude vineyards that produce grapes with exceptional concentration and character. This red wine showcases a medium body, which gracefully envelops the palate with its lush textures. The acidity is bright and lively, adding a refreshing quality that balances the wine's richness. Fruit intensity is prominent, with vibrant notes of ripe red berries and a hint of dark fruit, creating a harmonious blend that captivates the senses. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a structured backbone without overwhelming the fruit flavors. The wine is bone-dry, allowing the purity of the Garnacha to shine through, making it a delightful choice for food pairing or enjoying on its own.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
