Almira Los Dos Old Vines Grenache Syrah 2008

85% Grenache, 15% Syrah

From slopes on the edge of the Sierra Iberica, just south of Navarra where Garnacha is king, this special cuvée blends 15% Syrah with rich Grenache produced from vines of 35 to 50 years of age. The resultant wine exhibits an elegance rarely encountered in the wines from Campo de Borja. Fermentation is classical, with no carbonic maceration, and aging is wholly in stainless steel. The wine is immediately aromatic, full and friendly on the palate and finishes with a refined length.
