Ramón Bilbao Garnacha tasting notes
Garnacha Edición Limitada stands out for its delicacy, focusing on highlighting the primary fruit with a very subdued oak influence. The altitude and location of the vineyards provide freshness and a distinctive Mediterranean character.
This wine has a very expressive colour, revealing in its bouquet the predominant presence of red fruits. Its flavour is smooth and velvety, with balanced and enveloping tannins.
