Details
Atteca 2022
Vegano
The new vintage of the wine Atteca is, as usual, made solely from Grenache. This Spanish red wine is produced by Bodega Ateca, a branch of Gil Family Estates.
Born in the harsh Spanish region of Calatayud, Aragón, this vegan red wine was crafted from very old vines, some of which are 100 years old. They are planted on slate soils at altitudes between 700 and 1,000 metres above sea level.
The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks and subsequently transferred into French oak barrels. After that, the wine Atteca 2022 was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels.
We strongly suggest that you decant this Crianza red wine at least 30 minutes before you drink it.
| Appearance | The red wine Atteca is medium purple with some bluish glints and a violet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Deep and intense, this old-vines Grenache begins with some smokey and creamy notes, followed by intense aromas of blueberries and raspberries, some hints of tobacoo and roasted coffee, as well as some mineral undertones and aromas of balsam and resin. |
| Palate | Smooth and well-balanced, this red wine of Bodega Ateca is fruit-driven and balanced, with well-integrated oak and a rewarding freshness. Juicy red fruit, notions of cocoa and sensations of dry earth over an underlying layer of minerality. Creamy and fresh, with ripe tannins, good acidity and a long, persistent finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Spicy, deep and fruit-forward, the wine Atteca 2022 is a stunning value from Aragón. |
