The Chivite Legardeta range of wines includes Syrah, Chardonnay and this Garnacha. Born in one of the most northern areas of the Iberian Peninsula for the cultivation of grapes, the Finca Legardeta. This terroir, located 45 km from Pamplona is where these three unique wines are born, which have adapted perfectly to this enclave thanks to its climate and type of soil.
After 10 months in French oak barrels, the 2017 Garnacha shows a ruby red colour with intense violet hues. Its nose is fruity, with a predominance of red fruit (raspberry, strawberry), caramelised apple notes, very direct and seductive. Good entry on the palate, elegant, full-bodied, with refreshing and balanced acidity.
As Julián Chivite points out, “the confluence of the Atlantic and continental climates in Legardeta, allows the Garnacha variety to reach perfect maturity, resulting in a wine of great varietal clarity and unusual freshness”.
