2022 Tardano Tinto Garnacha

Tardano by Agricola La Portera is a single-varietal Garnacha from Almonacid de la Sierra in the DOP Cariñena region of Aragón's Ebro Valley. This wine represents a commitment to showcasing the essence of Garnacha, a world-class variety native to this area. Crafted with minimal intervention, it offers a naked expression of the grape and its terroir, distinguishing itself from the traditional over-extracted style of Spanish Garnacha through its fresh, medium-bodied character with layers of complexity and a true sense of place.
