Marqués de Alvia Garnacha Gran Reserva

One-bottle case.

1.5 hectares of extreme and irregular, ancient viticulture. A vineyard that has stood for 93 years, tended to by hand without the use of mechanical methods. Nestled in a cool, Atlantic-influenced environment, graced by the refreshing altitude of the Najerilla Valley in Rioja Alta. The fruits transform into a gentle and vibrant flow, an elixir of life, an intimate pleasure of nature. Cold winters, temperate summers, and mild, extended autumns result in significant temperature variations between day and night, contributing to the slow maturation of the fruits.

The soils consist of limestone conglomerates and stone slabs.

Manual harvesting in 15 kg crates, followed by sorting on a selection table.

Fermentation always occurs naturally and spontaneously. Grapes ferment in 500-liter oak barrels with open tops, without temperature control, and using indigenous yeasts. Maceration varies but can extend up to two or three weeks. Aging for over 24 months in new French and Hungarian oak barrels. Following aging, a slight clarification is performed.
