The NV Ino Garnacha de l'Emporda is a very pleasant amber/orange-colored sweet wine with original aromas of hazelnuts, candied oranges, saffron, smoke and a touch of honey. It is a non-vintage sweet wine with 164 grams of sugar per liter and 16% alcohol drawn from a solera that was started in 1994 and fed with red Garnacha juice, going back to the traditional rancios of yesteryear. 5% of the wine comes from a very old solera started around 1860 that for sure contributes to its character and depth. The palate is fresh and balanced by good acidity, sweet but not cloying. This is quite exceptional. Drink now-2020.
