Profile & Story
Breca is an artisanal mountain wine produced from high altitude, very old vineyards of the original Garnacha (Tinta de Aragón) which was cultivated in Aragón back to the 7th century and propagated across the Mediterranean by the Crown of Aragón. The estate's flagship cuvée. Made with 100% Garnacha de Aragón, the oldest clone of Garnacha (Grenache) in the world. Garnacha was first cultivated in this northeastern corner of Spain and propagated across the Mediterranean by the Crown of Aragón. The wine spends 16 months in French oak puncheon and demi-muid and shows bright red fruit character with distinct minerality.
Tasting Notes
Raised all in 500- and 600-liter barrels (all used), the 2021 Breca has a Châteauneuf du Pape-like bouquet of black raspberries, licorice, peppery herbs, and spice. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, rich, voluptuous, concentrated Garnacha with fine tannins and a great finish.
