Breca Brega 2020
Winemaker Notes
Calatayud is Spain's highest altitude zone for the cultivation of Garnacha, and produces wines that are incredibly intense yet balanced with bright acidity due to the high altitudes. The slate soils impart a phenomenal minerality to Brega. Primary source records date back to the 7th Century demonstrate the cultivation of Garnacha in the medieval Kingdom of Aragón, which propagated this grape across the Mediterranean, including the South of France and Italy. One of the most unique Garnachas in Spain due to its balance between concentration and acidity.

The 2020 Brega is also deeply hued, and it's another stunning wine in the lineup. Black raspberries, spicy herbs, pepper, leather, and incense notes all shine here, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered mouthfeel, perfectly integrated oak, and a great finish.
