About This Wine


Merce Carme

Garnacha

Our Garnacha from Merce Carme is varietally true with bright red fruit flavors and lingering spice. Although most wine lovers may associate this popular variety with France, where it goes by “Grenache,” Garnacha is indigenous to northern Spain. As one of the world’s top ten most widely planted varieties, this juicy red grape is exceptionally adaptable and produces many different styles of wine. Our Spanish winemaking partners have more than 50 years of experience creating genuine expressions of authentic Spanish wines like this Garnacha. The region’s limestone and clay soils retain moisture during hot summers allowing the vines to stay hydrated with just the right amount of nutrients to develop plump, ripe grapes. These growing conditions, combined with temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vessels, allow Garnacha to showcase its pure varietal character. Salud!

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.
