This lovely couple are both oenologists, and together they create unbelievable quality wines in their small bodega\u003cbr\u003etogether. A label that focuses on value driven, yet very quality fruit, the Gardacho tier has been an absolute success with their exciting\u003cbr\u003epackaging and extraordinary estate juice. This line of wines takes the same philosophy that Alzania does, with minimal farming practices,\u003cbr\u003eand a soft hand in the cellar, in order to show off just how good Jose Manuel is at what he does in one of the most unique regions of\u003cbr\u003eSpain. The estate rests in the western sub-zone of Navarra, called Tierra Estella, where the famous trail of Camino de Santiago cuts\u003cbr\u003ethrough several of their vineyard plots.Hikers on the famous Camino de Santiago trail go through the backyard of Viñedos y Alzania\u003cbr\u003eSaenz-Olazabal’s\u003cbr\u003eGardacho Blanca takes its name from a mythical dragon\/lizard creature that the local children enjoy telling stories of.\u003cbr\u003eThis 100% expression of the local Garnacha Blanca grape comes from a small plot where Cabernet Sauvignon grew for just over 20\u003cbr\u003eyears before it was re-grafted to plant this famous Spanish white grape. This north facing sloped vineyard sits at about 600 meters\u003cbr\u003eabove sea level, and was hand harvested, brought into the cellar for about a day of cold maceration, and fermented naturally in stainless\u003cbr\u003esteel tanks. After the fermentation was finished, the juice remained in contact with its fine lees for about 2 months. The finished wine\u003cbr\u003ehas beautiful lime and honeydew rind aromas, wet stones, and hints of boxwood. On the palate, it is mineral driven with accents of citrus\u003cbr\u003eand melon, fresh acidity, and has a mouth feel that is robust but dances lightly on the tongue. It has a long lingering finish that showcases\u003cbr\u003ethe crisp fruit as well as the intense mineral components of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alzania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358470041824,"sku":"120026","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/alzania-gardacho-garnacha-blanca_1.jpg?v=1699996378","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/alzania-gardacho-garnacha-blanca-2022-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
