No it’s not Mother’s Day, not my name day (probably not yours), and no king or queen I know about was born on this day (you don’t need to notify me if you happen to know one). An American group has in fact dubbed it National Double Cheese Burger Day, but that we must cover some other time. Ladies and gentlemen: It’s the International Grenache Day again!<\/p>\n

A new opportunity to celebrate that wonderful grape: Light in colour, fleshy, low in tannin, high in alcohol… Some years ago it was very un-fashionable. But times they are a-changing. Now it’s gaining ground even compared to tempranillo in Rioja.<\/p>\n

Some have learned to tame this grape, and to make the best of it. This blog is full of garnachas, just push the green garnacha<\/strong> button to the right (try grenache<\/strong> too), and you will see.<\/p>\n

Pick of the day: Fernando Garc\u00eda and Dani Landi’s Comando G<\/em> (that in this case stands for garnacha). What could be better? In the Sierra de Gredos they use low yields, natural fermentation, low extraction (but long maceration), no additions, 5 months in big vats, no filtration nor fining… This is pure garnacha elegance, and the most direct expression of place that you can think of.<\/p>\n

La Bruja de Rozas<\/strong> is made from several plots in and around Las Rozas de Puerto Real, in the (Madrid) province of the Gredos mountains. The soils are granitic.<\/p>\n

\"Comando<\/a><\/p>\n

La Bruja de Rozas 2015<\/strong>\u00a0(Comando G) <\/em><\/p>\n

Light cherry red. Lively perfumed fruit, raspberry, white flowers. A “dancing” acidity that forms a fine structure together with a touch of tannin. Light, pure, expressive. Don’t ask for more!<\/p>\n

Price: Don’t care (all right, luckily it falls into our medium category, less than 20\u20ac at Spanish Vila Viniteca or Lavinia, less than\u00a0\u00a320 at Swig and similar, UK, and 235 NKR at Vinmonopolet, Norway)<\/p>\n
