Tasting notes
The 2023 Garnacha Navatalgordo, from an old vineyard in the village of Navatalgordo, Gredos, is still in élevage. It reveals fresher aromas of cherry, sour cherry, an herbal hint and soft rose. Stem inclusion tightens the gums, though it will soften with time in bottle. A delicate note of fresh sour cherry lingers on the finish.

The village 2023 Navatalgordo has grapes (mostly purchased from regular suppliers) from five different parajes or lieu-dits from the stony and quartz soils from the village. It has a stony personality but a perfumed nose of violets and violet pastille, with silty tannins and good grip. It matured in oak vats to polish those village tannins. It's very complete and opens up in the glass nicely, as it's a little more austere than the one from Villanueva. This is the more tannic of the village reds. 9,965 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024.
