Planetes “Garnatxes” 2021

Facts about the drop
This Garnacha was carefully harvested from the four-hectare Finca Les Planetes Porrera plot. The harvest process began on 26 August and ended on 5 September. After the harvest, the grapes were macerated for four weeks and then fermented spontaneously in steel tanks with wild yeasts. The post-ripening of the wine extended over seven months, with 10% being matured in amphorae and the majority of the wine, 80%, being matured in stainless steel.

Colour shades

There is also a distinct herbal note reminiscent of thyme and rosemary. A refreshing, feminine and extremely seductive prelude that already makes you curious about the first sip in the fragrance.

Taste experience
On the palate, the wine reflects its aromatic diversity and convinces with its impressive freshness and elegance. A fine salty nuance, pleasantly invigorating acidity and the harmonious interplay of grippy yet polished tannins round off the taste experience.

It unfolds its full glory when slightly chilled and enjoyed from large glasses!
