Wine Description:
Aletta Garnacha is a distinctive wine hailing from the Campo de Borja region, known for its exceptional Garnacha vines. Produced from vineyards aged 15-25 years, this wine benefits from a unique continental climate influenced by the Atlantic's cold, dry "Cierzo" wind in winter and the Mediterranean's warmth in summer. The vineyards, situated on brown-calcareous and terraced soils with good drainage and rich organic matter, offer a diverse nutrient profile. Additionally, the proximity to the Moncayo mountains introduces clay-ferrous, stony soils, enhancing the wine's complexity. Aletta Garnacha showcases the best of these terroirs, resulting in a wine with rich, nuanced flavors and a special character that reflects its unique environmental influences and expert winemaking.

Wine Expert Note:

Aletta Garnacha is a delightful red wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Garnacha grape variety. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries, raspberries, and strawberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes. On the palate, Aletta Garnacha displays a medium to full body with a smooth and velvety texture. The flavors are rich and concentrated, with a perfect balance between fruitiness and acidity. You can expect to taste a medley of red berries, plums, and a touch of spice, which adds complexity to the wine. The tannins in Aletta Garnacha are usually well-integrated, providing a pleasant structure without overpowering the fruit flavors. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of ripe fruit and a hint of earthiness. This wine pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews. It also complements soft and semi-hard cheeses, allowing the flavors to harmonize beautifully.

Horizonte de Exopto Tinto is a bold, character-driven red wine from Bodegas Exopto, crafted in the renowned Rioja region. A blend of 80% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, and 10% Garnacha, it showcases grapes from old vines aged between 50 and 80 years. The Garnacha comes from the high-altitude Mont Yerga, while Tempranillo and Graciano are grown on the Ebro River's left bank. With sandy and clay-limestone soils, the vineyard's diverse terroir adds complexity. After hand-harvesting, fermentation occurs in oak amphorae and cement tanks, followed by a year of aging in French oak barrels. The result is a rich, structured wine with balanced fruit, spice, and earthy notes—a standout expression of Rioja's traditional yet innovative winemaking.
