The Sindicat la Figuera’s Garnaxta vines are planted at almost 2,000 feet, untrained gobelet vines up to 80 years old. The wine they produce is a study in savory elegance. A spicy nose offers pepper and tarry earth, with raspberry and blackberry fruit leather, tarragon, oregano, sage, and burnt orange peel. The palate is medium in weight but full of expression - dark fruits, smoky clay earth, orange oil, and a finishing kick of black pepper spice, all supported by firm but not chunky tannin. This is a wine with unusual balance that will do wonders for a wide range of pan seared pork dishes and polenta based meals.
