  • Spicy, warm summer fruits (redcurrants, blackberries) follow on from the ripe, fruity nose. Consistently one of our best value wines, with a good weight of fruit and well integrated oak and tannins. Good length on the finish.

Splendidly cheap and flavourful, old-vine Spanish red.

Bob TyrerThe Sunday Times, May 23rd 2010

Brilliant reds include...Cruz de Piedra Garnacha 2008, an old vine Garnacha with reach and ripeness; a real wine.

Victoria MooreThe Guardian, Saturday 1st May 2010

Winemaking

The grapes have been destalked, crushed and fermented for 15 days at a maximum temperature of 28C. After a maceration of 20 days and the malolactic fermentation was finished the wine was racked. The Garnacha grapes are sourced from old bush vines in the hills above the village of Villaroya de la Sierra. The average age of the vines is of 60 years. The age of the vines contributes to the excellent intensity of this Garnacha.The longevity of the vines is due to the cold winters and high altitude of the vines (600-900m).

    Ever since my sister had this at her wedding it's been my favourite affordable red. Beautiful raspberry fruit flavours and a bit of pepper. (Posted on 30/12/2008)
