Introduction:
The 2019 Aurelio García +Altitud Garnacha is a distinguished red wine from the D.O. Cebreros in Spain. Crafted by winemaker Aurelio García, this wine showcases the unique characteristics of high-altitude Garnacha vineyards in the Sierra de Gredos region.

Terroir:
Sourced from estate-owned mountain vineyards in Navatalgordo, located in the heart of the Sierra de Gredos within the Alto Alberche valley of Ávila province. These vineyards, planted between 1920 and 1935, are situated on small parcels averaging 0.15 hectares each. The granitic sandy soils, resulting from the decomposition of granite bedrock, combined with the high-altitude mountain continental climate, contribute to the wine's distinctive minerality and freshness.

Appearance:
Bright ruby red with violet hues, reflecting its youthful vibrancy.

Nose:
Aromas of ripe red berries, such as raspberry and cherry, are complemented by floral notes of violet and subtle hints of spice and earthiness.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a harmonious balance of fruit and acidity. Flavors of fresh red fruits are interwoven with mineral undertones, a testament to the granitic soils. The wine exhibits fine-grained tannins and a smooth texture, resulting from gentle extraction methods during fermentation.

Finish:
A long, elegant finish marked by lingering notes of red fruit and a touch of spice, underscoring its complexity and aging potential.

Overall Impression:
The 2019 Aurelio García +Altitud Garnacha exemplifies the purity and elegance achievable with old-vine Garnacha cultivated in high-altitude vineyards. Its vibrant fruit profile, balanced structure, and mineral complexity make it a versatile wine, suitable for pairing with a variety of dishes or enjoying on its own.
