Awards: 93 points Repsol Guide 2018, 92 Peñín Guide 2018

Founded in 1989, Bodegas Garci Grande is based on old wineries that go back to the 14th century. It has 79 hectares of vineyard with average height between 700 and 800 m. Its continental climate and the composition of its soils rich in calcium and magnesium, stony, with very good aeration and drainage are the first base on which the wines of this winery are based. Marked by the typicality of the Denomination of Origin to which it belongs, Bodegas GarciGrande develop these concepts from their own identity, without renouncing the key aspects in the quality of their wines such as the evening grape harvest, the undergraduate control and the application of the aging on lees at the end of the fermentation that contributes to achieving the unctuousness and persistence that distinguish wines "brand of the house".

Winemaking

Grape selection since vineyard´s age and type of soil. Macerated prior to fer-mentation at a temperature of 8-12 ºC for 12-18 hours in order to get the full extraction of aromas. Fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16ºC for 10-15 days. The wine is then stirred together with its own lees in order to achieve the characteristic smoothness and persistence of this wine.
