Mesta Garnacha, 2024

Bright rhubarb, cranberry, spice, licorice, baked strawberries on an uber expressive nose. Palate is driven by tart berries, balanced by warmth from its smooth and juicy character. The Mesta was a powerful association of shepherds in Medieval Castile, controlling the routes for herding sheep across the country. Bodegas Fontana’s vineyards are nestled deep in the land of the Mesta, and are still passed over by flocks on their annual migration. This 100% Garnacha is produced from organically farmed estate vineyards in Uclés, managed as an integrated ecosystem and studded with centenary oak trees. Uclés | Spain
