LE21 Grenache Carignan w/ grape skins

RELEASE DATE: APRIL 2022

Grenache Carignan – Garnacha Cariñena in Spanish – is at once intense and harmonious. Deep ruby red with alluring aromas of blackberry, spice, and leather nuances. A provocative palate of black fruit, cherry, red berry and plum with well-integrated oak and accents of licorice and spice. Rich velvety tannins, moderate acidity, and a long savory finish.

MANCHUELA, SPAIN
The climate in Manchuela is ideal for reds; the inland region has a continental climate with high daytime temperatures and long hours of sunshine but is still close enough to the coast to experience cool nights thanks to Mediterranean winds. This temperature swing creates favorable conditions for red grapes to slowly ripen, perfectly developing tannin, color, and varietal character. The resulting wines show excellent flavor, color, and mouthfeel.
