2022 Tardano Tinto Garnacha

Tardano by Agricola La Portera is a single‐varietal Garnacha wine rooted in its Spanish vineyard heritage. Sourced from Almonacid de la Sierra in the DOP Cariñena and reflecting the broader terroir of the Ebro Valley in Aragón, the wine is produced using minimal intervention techniques that emphasize the intrinsic character of the grape. This approach, which departs from more traditional, over‐extracted methods, is designed to convey a precise sense of place and the authentic expression of Garnacha.
