GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard

A delicious blend of Garnacha and Cariñena, a great alternative to Cotes du Rhone.

Camino del Bosque, a blend of 60% Garnacha and 40% Cariñena from the village of Almonacid de la Sierra, the former fermented in stainless steel and the latter in concrete and oak with indigenous yeasts. Thirty percent of the volume was kept in concrete and some 5% in clay pots (tinaja), and the rest in oak barriques and oak vats for a period of 14 months. It's juicy, primary, fruit-driven and quite ripe, with notes of plums and dark berries and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is round and reveals fine tannins, clean flavors and integrated oak. A juicy Mediterranean red.

ABV: 14.5%
