With notable aromatic intensity, the 2024 Golerga reveals dark elderberry tones, herbs and black fruit with hints of rosehip, jam, cherry and blood orange. Delicate in texture yet full of flavor, the palate is driven by freshness and lively energy. The finish is long and lightly grippy with impressive energy and persistence. This distinctive Garnacha balances darker fruit with a floral lift.

Their Garnacha from the village of Lerga 2024 Golerga was produced with grapes that in the past were made into rosé or blended with grapes from elsewhere. They produced a fine red to show the character of this historical place, cooler and with mountain character. The vines grow at around 600 meters above sea level in a zone with more rain, altitude and latitude, so it's one of the coolest places for Garnacha. Some 80% of the volume fermented by plot in open-top pools with 20% full clusters, and the rest of the grapes were destemmed and crushed in a 1,500-liter stainless steel vat. It matured in a combination of 500-liter barrels and concrete. It rained a lot during the harvest, and they had to sort and select more than in their zone. This feels more Atlantic, from cooler climate; it's from a different zone, Baja Montaña, which looks into the Pyrenees, and the wine has good ripeness but with great balance. It has 3.95% alcohol but also very good freshness, a pH of 3.24 and 5.6 grams of acidity. It has balance and purity with tasty flavors and very fine tannins, very elegant. 6,380 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2025.

Green peppers, acorns and dried flowers with underbrush. The medium- to full-bodied palate is bright and linear, defined by precise tannins. This has a firm, austere yet delicate finish. From old head-pruned vineyards planted at around 600 meters. Drink or hold. Jacobo García Andrade Senior Editor
