Kimera Amphora (Garnatxa) 2020

TASTING NOTES

The very old vines selected for this wine have a low yield, to produce grapes that exhibit complex and intense aromas. Kimera is pure Garnacha from two vineyards in the village of San Martin de Unx, 300m high in the Navarran mountains. Spontaneous fermentation takes place at 28ºC and is macerated for 15 days, with two daily pump overs. The wine is then transferred to large old clay tinajas (amphora) of 3700l for the malolactic fermentation, and it’s here it ages for a further 10 months.

This is a beautifully expressive wine which fully shows off the Garnacha grape variety in all its glory. Intense cherry aromas, with violets and scrubland floral notes. Delicate yet juicy palate, with super fine tannins and a long, tasty finish.
