Finca del Marquesado Valdemar – La Gargantilla – DO La Rioja

Grenache

La Gargantilla, a Grenache monovarietal where notes of red fruits stand out. It is an expressive wine, with nerve and sincerity.

Vineyards: a 6.7-hectare plot, with preselection of vines and clusters, at 580 m altitude and very stony loam soil.

Aging: 8 months in French Allier oak barrels.

Tasting observations: Beautiful, very vivid cherry colour, medium layer, with purple sheen. Intense and fresh aroma, with marked notes of red forest fruits (raspberries, currants) accompanied by finer notes from barrel aging. On the palate it is fresh, very expressive, with nerve and sincerity, with hints of flowers and red fruits. Elegant, with a delicate structure, balanced acidity and a long finish.

Pairing: Exquisite with all kinds of cheeses, especially cured and semi-cured. Red meats and cheese sauces. Foie gras and apple.
