Tim Atkin, 95 Points 

"Elegant and characterful, this Garnacha comes from 120 year old vines in San Mart¡n de Unx grown on limestone soils. It was aged for 36 months in barrel which is now perfectly integrated. Wild mountain herbal aromas open to lavender and floral notes with pretty red berry fruit. Tannins are velvety and inviting, producing a structured wine with the personality of the zone. 2024-30." 

Wine Advocate, 94 Points 

"The 2019 El Terroir showed really well. It's serious, ripe without excess, with varietal Garnacha notes and integrated oak, medium to full-bodied, with 14.5% alcohol, reflecting a warm and powerful year but with balance and keeping the poise. It follows the path of harmony and elegance within the powerful style of the zone of previous vintages. 20,000 bottles produced." 

Winemaker Notes:

"Semi-translucent ruby color announces a classical, restrained style of Garnacha. Aromas of flowers, red fruits and warm baking spaces lead to a soft and enveloping but persistent and complex palate of ripe strawberry and Mediterranean herbs." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
