Breca Garnacha de Fuego is an exceptional wine crafted by Bodegas Breca, a renowned producer situated in the rugged terrain of Aragón, Spain. This wine is a testament to the unique terroir of the Calatayud appellation, where old-vine Garnacha thrives on high-altitude vineyards reaching up to 2,500 feet. The age of the vines, some over 60 years old, coupled with the limestone-rich soils, contributes to the concentrated flavors found in the grapes. Bodegas Breca employs meticulous winemaking techniques, including careful selection of grapes and aging in French oak barrels, to produce a wine that beautifully expresses the varietal's character.
