About This Wine


Alavez

Garnacha

Juicy and mouthwatering, our Alavez 2020 Garnacha showcases ripe, dark berry flavors with soft, well-incorporated spice. This wine is a delicious example of Garnacha thriving in its Spanish homeland, where a Mediterranean climate ensures even and ample ripening while slow-draining soils keep vines hydrated. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for two to three weeks, extracting and preserving every ounce of rich varietal flavor. Oak aging presents itself through a chocolate-like character that integrates seamlessly without overwhelming the wine’s fruit-forward palate. Since this bottle is such a delicious stylistic representation of Spanish Garnacha, we encourage you to try something fun and impress your friends at your next wine night. Taste this wine next to a French Grenache to sample two different expressions on the same varietal and further explore your personal preference.

Wine Region


Spain

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.

Aromas of blackcurrant and cinnamon stick mingle together on the nose leading to a medium-bodied palate with active acidity and fruit-derived sweetness. Ripe blackberry flavors are rich and concentrated, with oak playing a supporting role through subtle hints of chocolate and baking spice.
