Tasting notes of the Garnacha de Hielo
Pale pink Color, with ochre notes provided by the Crianza and by a vintage in extreme conditions. Subtle and complex nose in which are conjugated quinces, oreillons and orange peel, with licorosas notes, light toast and aromatic herbs, changing the profile and surprising by the diversity of nuances. In the mouth it is a dense, fresh, glyceric and tasty wine, leaving a long aftertaste of fruit and liquor, as if it were a magical elixir.
