Description
Secastilla 2016 offers us the purest expression of a northern Garnacha, grown in the mountains at high altitude, close to the Pyrenees. It also displays the finesse that comes from the vines being so well-established in this particular terroir, having been planted back in the 40s. The wine displays concentrated aromas that are typical of the variety, complemented by delicate touches of oak which make it complex and elegant, with a perceptible minerality on the palate that feels quite hedonistic. This is a wine that is very evocative of the land it hails from.
