The resulting wine is fruity, rich, and complex, with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and earthy notes. Alto Moncayo Garnacha is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate bold and flavorful wines with a sense of place.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Alto Moncayo Garnacha offers an inviting nose of ripe blackberry and cherries, with a hint of white pepper and spice.On the palate, it is smooth and velvety with a fleshy mid-palate, and a savory finish of dried herbs and black licorice. The bright acidity and firm structure carry the dark fruit flavors with excellent balance and complexity. An outstanding value for the price, this is a great choice for a weeknight dinner party.
