Tasting Notes

Vinous Joaquin Hidalgo - 20 Oct 25
The 2022 Navatalgordo is 100% Garnacha from the Sierra de Gredos. The nose unfolds delicate and floral layers of black cherry with herbal notes. The palate reveals fine, reactive tannins in an austere frame that recalls Barolo. Compact and taut with an herbal lift, this has higher acidity than the rest of the range. At 13% alcohol, it offers a fresh approach to a warm vintage.
