Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep cherry, garnet rim
Nose: A very friendly red that is full of summer black fruits, ripe plums, violets and soft touches of toasted oak and sweet liquorice from spending 8 months ageing in wood.
Palate: Elegant expression on the palate with an explosion of flavours, velvety with a clean finish. Tannins are tight and creamy.
Grape Varieties: 100% Garnacha
History of Secastilla
Secastilla is a hidden valley which boasts hundred year old Garnacha vines and which was discovered by Viñas del Vero. The name of the valley, Secastilla, refers to the 7 castles (Septum Castella) which overlook the valley. Committed to the traditional Aragón variety, Garnacha, Viñas dle Vero is producing a wine from 100 year old vines while also investing in new plantings in this unique enclave.
Located in a small hidden valley away in the far North-Eastern corner of Somontano. Discovered by our winemakers two decades ago; this beautiful valley has been the home to some of the region´s finest old vine Garnachas for ver 80 years. The protection of the mountain ranges that surround the valley provides this vineyard with the ideal conditions for our spectacular Garnacha vines to grow alongside almond and olive trees, as was the tradition centuries ago. Wild boar, foxes, birds of prey, owls, and deer roam wild amongst the ancient pine and oak tree.
