Garnacha tinta

Originating in Spain, this variety is rich in extract and has good alcohol content.

It produces intense and round wines with a very attractive colour, although it depends a lot on the environmental conditions.
Warmer areas produce the exclusive type of red and cool areas offer a very interesting and balanced product, ideal for rosés.
