2017 Domaines Lupier ‘El Terroir’ Old Vines Garnacha
£23.00
“Quite a deep crimson, deeper than for many Garnacha. Sweet, almost gamey nose and very well balanced. More concentrated than some but it’s the fruit, the whole fruit and nothing but the fruit with quite a bit of fine tannin still. The style is more Cairanne than Ch Rayas. Elderberry fruit. By no means overpriced.”

Product Description
Enrique Basarte and Elisa Ucar, the dynamic team behind Domaines Lupier, have nurtured their fascination for old vine Garnacha by acquiring 27 parcels in the hills of Navarra, all based around the precipitous village of San Martín de Unx. These vineyards are located at altitudes ranging from 400 to 700 metres above the sea, and their photogenic vines date back to 1903.
The Terroir cuvée comes from old vines with low yields and is aged for 14 months in barrels of differing size.
