The Vintae winery offers this interesting Garnacha Salvaje del Moncayo, the rebellious soul of Garnacha. We are in the heart of northern Spain, between the provinces of Zaragoza and Navarre, where the Moncayo massif rises, a mountain that dominates the landscape with its imposing presence. Here, on its northern slopes, at an altitude of about 810 metres, the grapes used to produce this Garnacha Salvaje are grown, a wine that is a must for lovers of reds with character. Moncayo is not just a mountain, but a cultural and natural symbol of the region. Its slopes offer a unique microclimate, characterised by significant temperature variations between day and night, which favour slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The soils are poor and stony, with a high presence of slate and pebbles, elements that give the wine a marked minerality and aromatic complexity. The wine is made from 100% Garnacha grapes from vines over 55 years old. These old vines, with naturally low yields, produce concentrated, aromatic bunches that express the full potential of the grape variety in this area. The harvest is, of course, carried out manually during the last weeks of September, selecting only the best grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at temperatures below 25°C, followed by two weeks of maceration. The wine is then aged for five months in French oak barrels, which enrich its structure without overpowering its freshness. Bright cherry red in colour with violet reflections, indicating youth and vitality, the nose reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruit, such as strawberries and cherries, accompanied by floral notes and a slight hint of spice. On the palate, it is fresh, fruity and well-balanced, with soft tannins and a long, pleasant finish, enriched by a subtle hint of oak. Perfect with roasted white meats, pasta dishes with meat sauces, roast beef and raw cheeses. Served slightly chilled, it is also ideal with tapas and Mediterranean cuisine.
Vintae is a Spanish winery that has revolutionised the national wine scene with a creative, dynamic approach that is deeply rooted in the territory. Founded in 1999 by José Miguel Arambarri Terrero, an entrepreneur originally from Rioja, the company was born from a desire to revive the Moscatel de Grano Menudo variety, which had disappeared due to phylloxera. This initial project gave rise to the Castillo de Maetierra and Maetierra Dominum wineries, marking the beginning of the Vintae adventure. With the arrival of his sons Ricardo and José Miguel, Vintae expanded its vision, exploring different Spanish wine regions. Today, the company owns over 300 hectares of vineyards, cultivating 38 grape varieties and producing more than 35 different wines, distributed in over 60 countries. Vintae's philosophy is based on creating authentic, accessible wines that are representative of the different Spanish territories. The company stands out for its innovative marketing and attractive design, breaking with the traditional codes of the sector and making wine a fun and engaging experience. Vintae is also committed to sustainability and winemaking innovation. Projects such as Le Naturel, a natural wine produced without added sulphites, and the Pandemonium range of sparkling wines, made from grapes grown at high altitudes, demonstrate the company's desire to explore new frontiers while respecting the environment.
