Casa Lo Alto Rocha Candeal is a stunning 100% Garnacha (Grenache) that reflects the soul of Valencia’s high-altitude vineyards.This artisanal wine is a true expression of the terroir, where old vines thrive in mineral-rich soils, bathed in Mediterranean sun. Organic, and low intervention, this wine showcases the elegance and complexity Garnacha can achieve when grown at the higher altitudes surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. It is probably one of the best and purest examples of Garnacha that we’ve ever tasted.
The care and craft doesn’t stop at the vineyard, Casa Lo Alto Rocha Candeal is aged for 10 months in concrete vats, and another 10 months in wooden ‘foudres’. On the nose, you’re greeted with an alluring bouquet of ripe red fruit, including raspberries, cherries, and blackberries, interwoven with delicate floral aromas of violet and lavender. The palate is equally captivating, offering juicy, concentrated fruit flavours balanced by refined tannins and a vibrant streak of minerality. A hint of black pepper and earthy undertones adds complexity, while a lively acidity keeps the wine refreshingly balanced. The finish is long and lingering, with a subtle spice that leaves you wanting more.
Whether you’re enjoying a relaxed evening at home, hosting a dinner party, or looking for the perfect gift for a wine lover, the Casa Lo Alto Rocha Candeal Garnacha is a standout choice. Its complex flavour profile and smooth texture make it a delightful conversation starter, and it’s equally well-suited for intimate moments or grand celebrations. Share a bottle with friends and explore the rich layers of Garnacha at its finest.
