"The single-vineyard Garnacha 2016 Malayeto comes from 2.39 hectares of vines averaging 35 years of age in the village of Fitero at 520 meters in altitude on limestone soils. It's a bright ruby colored red, wine with tons of spices, herbs, flowers, notes of bay leaf, thyme and a bright personality. It has a light to medium-bodied palate with unnoticeable oak (it matured in well-seasoned, neutral oak foudres and barrels), with complex stone minerality, a dry and long finish. This is really delicious and a very good value, possibly the freshest of the six Garnachas I tasted from them. Some 12,000 bottles were filled in March 2018. This is a real bargain, one to buy by the case." ~ LG

A Delightful Surprise!
"A veritable steal. If you like the less powerful, beautifully balanced style of great Burgundy or Oregon Pinot, I recommend this wine. It has a pretty rust tinged, ruby color and a complex palate of rose hip, minerals, red raspberry, pine, orange peel and charcoal--doesn't sound that great, but this wine is really delicious. I've never had Garnacha made in this style, but Navarra produces some of the best wines in Spain. Great food wine. Fabulous bargain."
