Garnacha “Dama D Roca” 2023 – Bodegas Paniza

The grapes to produce Garnacha “Dama D Roca” Bodegas Paniza were crushed, destemmed and macerated for several days extracting colour, flavour and aromatics. Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks with several rackings per day to separate the solids from the juice. Garnacha “Dama D Roca” Bodegas Paniza went through malolactic fermentation and was clarified, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling. The wine was made without any oak influence to express the characteristics of the Grenache grapes and the DO Cariñena terroir.

The vineyard is situated in a hilly terrain at the base of the Iberian Mountains in North East Spain. The climate is continental with warm, dry summers and cool, windy winters. The vines are grown at an elevation of 700 metres, where the warm days are countered by cooler evenings, which create long ripening periods for the grapes allowing them to build up rich fruit flavours during the warmth of the day, balanced by natural acidity from the cool nights. The soils are composed of schist, chalk, loam and red clay.
