60 EUROS
DOP Cariñena
With this wine, we have taken full advantage of the unique characteristics of a DO which we believe is underprotected and often undervalued. It features nearly century-old vines located at an altitude of 850 metres on rocky but deep soils, with a continental-Mediterranean climate marked by a high thermal contrast between morning and night (+-10ºC). The close collaboration between Nacho Lázaro, owner of Bodegas Añadas, its winemaker Óscar Martínez, and Gran Anyada (Marià Bigordà, father and son), continues to uncover new products with strong personality and maximum assurance to satisfy our most demanding customers. A 40 EUROS wine which is worth more than it costs!

CHARACTERISTICS
- Old vines with an average age of 75 years, very poor soil, at an altitude of about 900m. Low production (750g per plant) on clay-limestone land. High thermal contrast.
- Manually harvested in 10kg boxes, selected in sorting tables and cryo-maceration. Controlled fermentation at around 24ºC for 1 month with indigenous yeast. Pumped over twice a day to bring the colour out. Malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels.
- Good reddish colour with a strong expression of red, ripe, confitted fruit, and a touch of spiciness. Toasted notes, mineral character influenced by the soil, and finish characterised by smooth tannins and integrated acidity. Longevity of over 14 years.
HOW TO SERVE IT
Decant the wine half an hour before serving it. Turn the bottle upside down and let the wine splash out of the bottle into the centre of the decanter, then spin it counter-clockwise a couple of times and let it sit.
REMEMBER...
- Wines are always stored horizontally, in cool places where temperatures don’t go above 18ºC.
- It is important to open the bottles or decant them before consumption depending on the type of wine.
- The colour, its intensity and hue, can define the features and characteristics of the wine.
