Bodegas Aragonesas Aragonia Seleccion Especial Garnacha 2021
This bold and expressive red is crafted in the Campo de Borja region, just south of Rioja and Navarra, where Garnacha reaches some of its finest expressions. Bodegas Aragonesas, an innovative and ambitious winery, has pioneered a unique approach: selecting the best wines from local cooperatives, before blending, maturing, and finishing them in-house. This meticulous process allows them to elevate quality and consistency, ensuring wines of exceptional character. Production The grapes are sourced from vines over 50 years old, producing naturally low yields of intensely concentrated fruit. Following vinification, the wine is matured in oak, where it develops depth, structure, and layers of complexity. Tasting notes A vivid, ripe Garnacha brimming with aromas of red berries, wild herbs, mineral notes, and roasted spice. The palate is broad, harmonious, and richly textured, with refined tannins supporting generous fruit and spice. Long, complex, and elegant on the finish. Food match Perfect with grilled meats, game, hearty casseroles, or rich vegetarian dishes such as aubergine stew or mushroom risotto. Grape varieties 100% Garnacha Tinta
Zuccardi Q Tempranillo 2019
Zuccardi Q Tempranillo is a structured and elegant Argentine red, offering complex notes of tobacco, leather and chocolate. Approachable in its youth yet capable of ageing gracefully for several years, it captures both power and finesse, showcasing the exceptional quality of old-vine Tempranillo from Mendoza. Why You'll Love It This is Argentine Tempranillo at its finest—structured, elegant, and beautifully complex. The Zuccardi family is one of Argentina's most respected winemaking dynasties, known for innovation and for championing vineyard expression across Mendoza. Their 'Q' range is sourced from carefully selected, old-vine parcels that deliver concentration, depth and purity of fruit. Sustainability, minimal intervention and precision winemaking are hallmarks of the Zuccardi philosophy, resulting in wines of exceptional character and ageing potential. Vineyard & Production Grapes are sourced from old vines in the Santa Rosa vineyards of Mendoza. The region's semi-arid climate, abundant sunshine and high luminosity are moderated by cool nights, which preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. These conditions, coupled with careful vineyard management, ensure perfectly balanced fruit. The 2019 vintage was an outstanding year in Mendoza, marked by ideal ripening conditions with higher-than-average spring humidity, while summer temperatures remained consistently below average. February and March continued with cool, luminous days, allowing slow, even ripening. Selected bunches are hand-harvested and gently transferred into concrete vats by gravity. Fermentation with native yeasts takes place with soft extraction through délestage and pigeage. After fermentation, the wine undergoes 20–25 days of maceration on skins, followed by full malolactic conversion. Ageing in oak barrels adds complexity, structure and longevity. Tasting Notes This deeply structured Tempranillo opens with aromas and flavours of tobacco, leather and chocolate. The palate is silky yet robust, show
