For this purpose, farms located in the remaining best areas have been acquired and for this expansion a rigorous selection of the best native Garnacha vines has been carried out. This new project is called “Locos By Alto Moncayo” under which expand the range of high-quality, uniquely different products, with a modern and casual style, produced from the winery’s youngest vineyards.

Vines are around 10 – 15 years old, supported by trellis with permanent cordon. The vineyards are located on terraced floors of the Huecha valley. All these conditions make Gruñón is a very personal and distinctive wine.

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 15.5%

APPEARANCE
Intense purple-red color.

NOSE
The nose opens with a great aromatic intensity of ripe black fruits, blackberries, prunes, black liquorice and spices.

PALATE
The palate is powerful, with big sweet tannins. A creamy mouth feel and a round, long and silky finish make Gruñón a very personal and distinctive wine.

AGEING
The two varieties are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks, with the only Shiraz exposed to a whole-bunch fermentation. A core hallmark of this wine is that it does not spend any time in oak barrels.

PAIRING
With its robust alcohol content and massive dark fruit notes, Gruñón matches well with intensely savory, meaty profiles.
