“The unoaked red 2022 Botijo Rojo Garnacha wants to be a fresh and crunchy expression of the grape. It was produced with the fruit from 25 hectares of 20- to 50-year-old vines on clay and limestone stony soils at 450 meters in altitude in the village of Épila. It fermented in stainless steel and concrete vats with 8% to 10% full clusters and matured in underground concrete vats for nine months. It’s a naked and fruit-driven Garnacha that is perfumed and delicate, with fresh tannins, fine-grained and with some chalky grip.”
