Our vineyard is located in rolling hills. Total vineyard has more than 1500 plots oriented in different expositions towards the sun and maritime influence. The vines grow in decomposed granite. We call our soil “Balasto”, it is one of the most ancient soils in the world. 2.5 billion years eroded crystalline basement. This soil is very low in organic mater and it has high sand fraction (up to 80%). This soil is very important since we receive more than 1500 mm of rain in the year, having rain in summer as well. Vineyards are 11 miles away from Atlantic Ocean receiving all the maritime influence, saline air and cool breezes and winds that refresh the grapes in summer days preserving acidity and aromas. The vineyards are surrounded by wild forest with a high biodiversity that adds complexity and beauty. Bodega Garzon’s terroir is sustainable 100%, minimal intervention is part of our philosophy and we do not use chemicals of synthesis.

Fresh aromas reminding of red and black fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, together with a spiced delicate aroma.

It has a great personality in mouth. Its ripe tannins and its minerality transform it into a terroir wine of great identity.

This Tannat is a wine of a deeply intense purple colour.

This is an ideal wine to pair with roasted game meat or simmered lamb's leg with salvia, mint and garlic dipped in olive oil.

12-to-16-month ripening process on its lees in 50 HL untoasted French oak barrels and bottis, which allow us to have a better wood and wine linking, minimising the presence of notes coming from the toasted oak.
