2022 Bodegas Aroa ‘Le Naturel’ Garnacha, Navarra, Spain

Le Naturel Red is crafted with Garnacha Tinta, a Navarra native varietal that has long been scorned, but which accounts for the majority of the vineyards at Aroa Bodegas. Garnacha is a tough grape to grow, although the location of Le Naturel has an advantage due to the strong north wind and the vines being orientated north-south, which promotes cluster health. This wine embodies that vitality; it is affable, light, and easy to drink, while yet being a fruit explosion brimming with genuineness. Low intervention. Whole Cluster fermentation with a short maceration (4-5 days). No fining, filtering or sulfur.
