The Grapes: 
Garnacha: 100+ year-old vines “Centenaria” refers to 100 years.

The Appellation: 
Campo de Borja DO, Spain. High hills and plateaus between the Sierra Moncayo Mountains and the Ebro River Valley. Soil is Calcareous lime; moderate rockiness and organic matter content with good drainage and nutrient levels

The Wine:
Organic Grapes are harvested by hand from old bush vines. The yields are very low, and each vine can produce only one bottle of wine. 15 days of maceration and fermentation in stainless steel are followed by four months aging on the lees in new French oak barrels to add complexity and flavor. Vegan friendly

This modern, rich wine is aromatic and full bodied with concentrated red and blue fruit flavors, hints of toast, smoke and spice. Vibrant acidity keeps everything in balance.

Anything off the grill, and wood-fired pizzas.

Format:
750ml Bottle (5-Liter available by special order)

The Winery: 
Don Ramón is produced by Bodegas Aragonesas located in the small town of Fuendejalon, in the Spanish province of Aragon, for which it is named. Situated in the upper Ebro River Valley, and on the slopes of the Sierra Moncayo Mountains, it is the largest winery in Campo de Borja DO. This is the ancestral home of Garnacha, where the extremely hot, dry climate and stark contrast between day and nighttime temperatures are ideal for cultivation of this late ripening variety. Garnacha vineyards are noted in the agricultural records kept by Cistercian Monks of the nearby Veruela Monastery, dating back to 1145.
Today, the low yields of these century-old vines produce rich, concentrated wines with distinctive aromas and flavors. At all levels, they are approachable, balanced, smooth and fruity. At the same time, they are crafted with a sense of place and respect for the qualities that make Garnacha unique.
