Description

Evodia means perfume. This is the perfect representation of the Grenache from Aragon with its own clones and flavours. Evodia Pizarras Antiguas is born from the selection of certain nature spots (Olmares, Rayo, Trebago and Valtriguera) of old vines Garnacha with low yields per hectar, high sun-exposure (south-west) and good vegetation that allows us to hold up the harvest time without over-ripening. The aim of this is to obtain a wine with a higher concentration.

Vineyard characteristics

Old vines Garnacha in bush with dry farming planted between 1955 and 1960. The typical soils of these nature spots are clay and slate as the main rock with a great depth. The vineyards are located at 900 meters of altitude and located in the Sierra Santa Cruz.

Winemaking

100% destemmed grapes. Fermentation in concrete tanks during 15 days with a few pumping-overs and post-fermentative maceration during 2 weeks using the topping technique. This way, a more balanced extraction is obtained and a lower oxidation of the skins happens. 12 months in new barrels of one and two uses of French oak from different origins.
