The 2018 Castillo de Belarfonso is pure Garnacha from two vineyards in the village of El Real de San Vicente that fermented destemmed and matured in used 600-liter oak barrels for six months. It's pale, elegant and aromatic, subtle and mineral, showcasing the Gredos character, the high altitude and granite soils. It has a very fine palate, very good freshness, elegant tannins, supple flavors and a long finish. This is a fantastic introduction to what Garnacha de Gredos is at a very affordable place. 19,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019.
