Description
Libre y Salvaje Cariñena is an organic single-site red made from 100% Cariñena grown in old vineyards at El Pedregal, within D.O. Cariñena. The plots lie at around 650 metres above sea level on silt and clay soils with abundant stones and rounded pebbles. The project aims to show the sharper, more structured and fresher side of a grape variety closely linked to this part of Aragón.
The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted in the vineyard and selected again before fermentation. Fermentation is spontaneous, with gentle extraction at controlled temperature followed by light pressing. The wine then spends around 12 months ageing in a combination of wooden vats, concrete and 500-litre barrels. In the glass it shows ripe plum and cherry, spice, lively acidity and a fleshy, balanced, persistent palate.
