Lagar d'Amprius Syrah Garnacha Red Wine

Lagar d'Amprius Winery presents the Lagar d'Amprius Syrah Garnacha Red Wine, an oenological gem that comes from the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Bajo Aragón Wine.

This wine is made with a carefully balanced blend of Syrah (65%) and Garnacha fina (35%), giving it a unique and sophisticated character, reflecting its privileged terroir.

The Syrah and Garnacha vines are treated with exceptional care to ensure that each bunch produces grapes of the highest quality.

One of the keys to the success of this wine is the extreme limitation of production to a maximum of 1.5 kg per vine.

This rigorous control allows the full potential of the plants to be concentrated in a limited amount of fruit, resulting in a greater intensity of flavors and aromas in the final wine.

It is worth noting that all vineyards are owned by the winery, allowing for complete control over every stage of the cultivation and production process.

The grape harvest is always done at night, a crucial detail that helps to keep the grapes at the lowest possible temperature, minimizing the risk of oxidation.

During transport to the winery, the grapes are refrigerated with dry ice to preserve their freshness and quality.

Once in the winery, a cold skin maceration is carried out for 4 days at a temperature below 10ºC.

This process seeks to maximize the extraction of aromatic compounds and colorants, ensuring that these remain stable over time.

The fermentation of Syrah and Garnacha occurs spontaneously, without the addition of commercial yeasts, allowing the wine to express its origin more authentically.

Syrah fermentation lasts 10 days at a temperature between 24-26ºC, while Garnacha ferments for 8 days.

Subsequently, both wines macerate together with the skins for approximately 20 days, which contributes to developing the tannic structure and complexity of the wine.

After maceration, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, where it remains with its lees for a minimum of 12 months.

This process adds volume and smoothness to the palate, allowing the wine to evolve and develop its complexity.

The wine is then bottled and aged for at least 12 months before being released to the market.

This additional bottle aging allows it to undergo a very positive evolution, making it even more appealing over time.

The Matarraña region, located in the province of Teruel, Aragon, is a privileged area thanks to its microclimate and the excellent orientation of its vineyards.

At an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, the vineyards are protected by the Beceite mountains from the humid winds that come from the coast, about 50 km away.

The region's clay soil adds a special minerality to the wine, which demands the best from each vine to produce exceptional grapes.
