Description

Garnacha By Basilio Berisa is a grapes selection from an old vineyard that was planted for my great-grandfather  more than 70 years ago. This wine is made %100 entirely from Grenache grapes. This varietal is the best adapted grape the warm and dry weather in our region.  We have to remember that this wine is unique, with unrepeatable characteristics because it depends in its totality of the year weather conditions. In 2015 for example we had a perfect warm summer, and the harvest was the 2nd of October coinciding with the ripest point of the grapes so it reach its full flavour potential.   We selectively harvest by handpicking as had been done in the past.

After a cold soak, the alcoholic fermentation runs slow and cold this is carried out by the natural yeast. A post fermentation skin contact helps the wine to ripen and soften the edges, it has had extended skin contact for 60 days.  For finishing the aging if this wine we sent this wine into French oak barrels for 10 months. This creates a wine soft balanced and in harmony.

This wine is the result of the fully dedicated dream of the winemaker and  in each step of the process to get expression in all bottles, a delicate wine with atlantic influences and delicate notes.
