Cuesta Chica | Viñedos de Alcohuaz
A single vineyard Garnacha picked from some of the highest altitude vineyards on the property, where the grapes become fully ripe without losing their refreshing acidity. 23 months ageing in concrete eggs, a technique winemaker Reta favours, have resulted in a wine with supple tannins and a long, refreshing finish – definitely moreish.
