Torres Sangre De Torro Garnatcha Original

Torres Sangre De Torro Garnatcha Original from Catalunya, Spain. Deep cherry red “bull’s blood” with aromas of wild dark berries and ripe plums interspersed with aromas of roasted coffee. A full and warm flavor experience with a light liqueur finish. Sangre de Toro means bull’s blood and immediately indicates that this is a wine with character and soul. The base of Garnacha Tinta and Cariñena therefore obtained extra character with an aging of 6 months, in oak.

Garnatcha, The most widely planted blue grape in Spain. Excellent for blending, although the best Garnacha wines come from Priorato and are usually monovarietal there. Garnacha is an important component of traditional Rioja (usually up to 30 percent). In France, this grape is used almost exclusively as a cépage with other grape varieties. Garnacha is a true Mediterranean grape that is addicted to the heat. The grape variety always follows the sun, and regularly changes its name in the process. The vine is resistant to all kinds of diseases. The grape has a thin skin with little pigment. The grape prefers poor and dry soils with many (pebble) stones. Little tannin and sensitive to oxidation, so this is not a wine for laying down. Garnacha wines are characterized by a very fruity, almost sweet taste in which blackberries, cherry, kirsch, coffee, cocoa, figs and some pepper can be discovered. They contain little acid.
