    Product Description

    LUSH, RIPE GARNACHA FOR AN UNBEATABLE PRICE!


    "One of our bargain favorites, Ateca Honoro Vera Garnacha, has just arrived and we have a new, low price (under $6 a bottle!!) Ripe, lush fruit with a subtle earthy undertone; this wine is really a no-brainer. Plus, it recently scored 91 Points from James Suckling. It’s a crowd-pleasing, easy drinking wine to buy by the case without breaking the bank!" – Jim Knight, The Wine House (3/6/17)

    FROM THE PRODUCER

    Region: Calatayud D.O., Spain
    Varietal: 100% Garnacha
    Winemaker: Michael Kyberd
    Vineyards: 35-45 year old vines
    Soils: Decomposed slate and gravely clay
    Viniculture: Stainless steel fermentation
    Aging: 2 months in French oak

    Tasting Notes: Intense ruby color and a bright red berry nose that is complemented by hints of cake spices. On the palate the bright fruit continues and is well balanced by the light oak aging giving the wine the sweet spice and bit of tannin to finish with awine that is, as always, a great value for what is in the bottle.
