La Nit de les Garnatxes

Clay, Garnatxa

100% Garnacha

Intense cherry colour. This is a really complex wine with very marked notes of forest undergrowth and tannins that “stick” in the mouth. A truly wild Wine!

Garnatxa is a very versatile grape when it comes to pairings, and this is no exception. Although, considering the intensity and fuller body this Garnacha from Clay soil offers, we suggest you open it with grilled meats, lamb, casseroles and stews.

James Suckling tasting 2018:

  • La Nit de les Garnatxes Clay/Argila 2016: 92p. I love the crushed wild-berry aromas with some floral notes, but also the deep, earthy quality. Then comes the great velvety texture on the ripe, but well-proportioned palate, the well-crafted dry tannins making the finish lively. Drink or hold.
