ABOUT THIS WINE
The Garcia de Verdevique Tinto Cosecha 2018 is a red wine from the Alpujarra Granadina region of Andalusia, Spain. Produced by Bodegas García de Verdevique, it originates from exceptionally high-altitude vineyards, situated between 1150 and 1400 meters above sea level, making them some of the highest in Europe. This unique terroir, characterized by a harsh environment and a special microclimate, contributes to the distinctive qualities of the wines. The primary grape varietals are Tempranillo and Garnacha. Bodegas García de Verdevique is committed to a philosophy of natural winemaking, respecting ancient traditions and the environment. Their wines are produced from organically farmed grapes and are not subjected to any filtration, stabilization, or chemical additives. The winemaking process is labor-intensive due to the steep slopes, often requiring manual labor and even the use of donkeys.
