Terroir:
The Cutio Rojo is sourced from the Cariñena region in Aragón, Spain. The vineyards are located on high-altitude sites with calcareous clay soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity and mineral character.
Viticulture:
The Garnacha grapes come from 40-year-old vines that are farmed sustainably, emphasizing minimal intervention to maintain the natural balance of the vineyard. The altitude and the region's climate help the grapes develop good acidity and vibrant fruit flavors.
Winemaking:
The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit character. The wine is then aged for a short period in lightly oaked barrels, allowing the Garnacha's natural flavors to shine through without overpowering oak influence.
Tasting Notes:
Jorge Navascues Cutio Garnacha offers aromas of fresh red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by floral notes and a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a smooth texture, balanced acidity, and a long, fruity finish. It has a vibrant and expressive character, making it a versatile wine for pairing with various dishes.
