The 2008 Initio is pure, old-vine Garnacha from their higher-altitude vineyard at 890 meters. The whole grapes fermented in stainless steel and the wine is aged on average 14 months in oak barrels of different sizes and ages (depending on the plot they were in barrels between 8 and 18 months). The nose is quite muted, with shy hints of red fruit and spices, some echoes of dry herbs (hay) and some developing notes of chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with some harsh, slightly drying tannins and acidity that is yet to be integrated. 68,000 bottles produced.
