The pure Garnacha 2018 Gloria S is evolving very slowly and still feels primary and undeveloped. The warmer year delivered a wine with full ripeness and development of aromas and flavors, while keeping the alcohol at a moderate 12.8% with very good freshness and acidity. The vineyard is in the process of getting organic certification. They used 50% full clusters that were foot trodden at low temperature, and the wine matured in amphorae and barrel for 18 months. The élevage has not marked the aromas or flavors and has respected the purity of fruit and the variety. It's medium-bodied and has very fine and elegant tannins. 2,650 bottles were filled in December 2019. Impressive!
