Garnacha “Vinas de Miedes” 2020 – Bodegas San Alejandro

The grapes to produce Garnacha “Vinas de Miedes” Bodegas San Alejandro were destemmed and the uncrushed grapes were macerated for two weeks at low temperatures to extract colour, aromatics and flavour. Fermentation took place with a neutral selected yeast. Garnacha “Vinas de Miedes” Bodegas San Alejandro went through malolactic fermentation in underground concrete tanks, with lees contact which added texture, before being matured in stainless steel and concrete tanks for three months. The grapes to produce  come from dry farmed Garnacha vines, from various plots surroundingthe village of Miedes. The extreme climate of hot days and cool evenings promotes a long, ripening period concentrating the flavours and aromatic complexity of the grapes. The soils are varied: limestone, red clay and colluvial rocks, with each terroir imparting subtle complexity to the wine. The vines are a combination of traditionally bush trained vines and Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) training method. The vineyards are farmed with respect for the environment; the soils are ploughed and the vines are cultivated sustainably. In conversion to organic cultivation.
