Intruso Garnacha Calatayud DOP - Juan Gil

The barrel-aged Intruso Garnacha Calatayud from the wine-growing region of Aragon appears in the glass in dense purple. The bouquet of this red wine from Aragon delights with hints of black cherry, morello cherry, plum and plum. If we trace the aromatics further, cinnamon, vanilla and oriental spices are added.

On the tongue, this punchy red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Intruso Garnacha Calatayud flatters with a pleasing mouthfeel, without at the same time lacking in juicy liveliness. The final of this red wine from the wine-growing region of Aragon, more precisely from Calatayud, capable of aging, finally captivates with good reverberation.
