Bodegas Venta La Vega 'Adaras Aldea' Almansa DO 2021

El Mugrón, the foothills of the mountains of Almansa, boasts the largest single planting of garnacha tintorera in Europe. Bodegas Venta la Vega encompasses 225 ha of organically farmed vineyards in Almansa, where the high elevation (1200 m) and rocky limestone soils create distinct microclimates well suited for organic farming without needing to rely on chemical treatments. Winemaker José Ángel Martínez (of Envínate winery acclaim) works closely with legendary Bierzo oenologist Raúl Pérez to oversee every level of operations. Though ‘Adaras’ is the entry level offering from Venta la Vega, this delightful value does not disappoint! Garnacha tintorera is joined here by a touch of syrah, yielding a mouthful of fresh red fruit, mineral undertones, and a touch of spice on a medium-bodied frame that finishes clean and vibrant, all with well-integrated tannins. Organically grown.
