GREEK Centennial Garnacha

GREGO was created in response to the market's demand in recent years: wines that retained the youth of the fruit and had just the right touch of wood. Framed within this idea, GREGO GARNACHA CENTENARÍA was created, whose quality begins in the plantations of very old vines cared for with the utmost care. Once produced, the wine spends a short period of time in new French oak barrels, which finally rounds off the exquisite and complex palate it offers us.

Production:
The quality of this wine begins in the plantations themselves, cared for with the utmost care. From the beginning of August, grape sampling is carried out in the same plots, to monitor ripening, quality and health, which will determine the optimum point of the fruit and its optimal harvest date. Harvested by hand, at the coolest hours of the day and in 20kg boxes, to respect the quality of the grape as much as possible. Fermentation takes place in 10,000l concrete tanks (no more, to control fermentation as much as possible) at a controlled temperature (22-28ºC). Fermentation and maceration for 24 days with two pumping overs per day. Once alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, so important in quality red wines like this one.
Aging:
The wine is placed in 225l barrels without any type of treatment (without clarifying). The barrels are made of French oak, where it remains for as long as the winemaker deems appropriate; in this vintage it was 6 months. During this time, the wine acquires complexity and elegance, maintaining its magnificent fruitiness, characteristics that mark this GREGO Garnacha Centenaria.
