Gre2 Garnacha, A Pie de Tierra 2022

Gre2 is A Pie de Tierra's expression of old-vine Garnacha from Gredos, a mountainous region west of Madrid where altitude, granite soils, and dramatic temperature swings create ideal conditions for this noble variety. This is Garnacha at its most elegant and precise – showing what the variety can achieve when it's grown at altitude and handled with care.

A Pie de Tierra works with old vines in the Gredos mountains, where the combination of granite soils, high altitude (800-1,200 meters), and continental climate produces Garnacha with freshness, minerality, and structure. The old vines are ungrafted, growing in poor granite soils that force them to dig deep for nutrients and water.

Gre2 shows red berries, herbs, granite minerality, a touch of spice, and that characteristic bright acidity and freshness from the altitude. There's structure and depth here, but nothing feels heavy or overdone. The wine remains elegant and precise, showing what makes Gredos Garnacha so distinctive and different from the riper, heavier styles found elsewhere in Spain.

The winemaking is minimal intervention – spontaneous fermentation, aging in neutral vessels, and bottling without fining or filtration. The result is a wine that's both distinctive and genuinely drinkable, showing the purity of fruit and terroir without interference.

Serve it at room temperature with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, stews, or aged cheeses. This is honest, elegant Spanish Garnacha from one of the country's most exciting regions, perfect for those who want something with real character and finesse.
