Garnatxa Dolça de Capçanes
100% Red Garnacha
Light tawny color with ruby red reflects. Nose carries cherry marmalade aromas. Very expressive on the palate as well with a ripe fruitiness that can be seen through jammy raspberries, cherries, and red currant. Big body with a slight acidity that keeps it fresh and not overly heavy. Dried fruit notes add complexity to this sweet treat.
This sweet Garnacha is the perfect companion for desserts such as dried fruits, cakes, fudge and even the classic cheese plate.
VINIFICATION
After a brief maceration with the skins and seeds, a part of the juice is bled off and later fortified up to 16.5%. We let the wine partially ferment to retain high levels of natural sugars. The wine is transferred to French oak barrels that already contain aged wine from previous vintages. Previously to this, we bottle a part of the aged wine in these casks and the young wine is used to refill them.
AGING
Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels and with the Solera system.
