ABOUT THIS WINE
Libre Y Salvaje Garnacha 2021 is a red wine from the Cariñena D.O.P. in Aragón, Spain, made from 100% Garnacha grapes. It originates from the 'El Plano Alto' vineyard, a high-altitude site (over 800 meters) with old vines (50-85 years old) planted on granitic soils. The producer, Libre Y Salvaje, founded by oenologist Mario Rovira, is committed to rescuing abandoned vineyards and practicing minimal intervention winemaking. The project's name, meaning 'Free and Wild,' reflects its philosophy of allowing the terroir and grape to express themselves naturally. The wine is classified as 'Vino De Paraje,' signifying its origin from a specific, recognized place with unique characteristics. The 2021 vintage is noted for its ripeness and freshness, achieved through early hand-harvesting.

The producer emphasizes organic farming and the revival of old, abandoned vineyards as core sustainability practices.
