Tasting Compos De luz Red Spanish Garnacha



Name: Compos De Luz Red Spanish Garnacha
Variety: Mostly Garnacha, although there are also parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Macabeo and Moscatel.
Region: Rioja down to the Priorat
Country: Spain
Price:

Critic: The Ebro runs north-west to south-east across the top of Spain, and wine is cultivated along most of its length. Historically many of the regions planted Garnacha, from Rioja down to the Priorat. Although much of these plantations have been replaced with other varieties, there are still area where Garnacha dominates, like in the DO CariƱena, where it is 60% of the area planted. This dry and sunny region is perfect for the Garnacha grapes and lead us to the name of Campos de Luz

What I taste: Strong strong aroma of fruity essence. Citrus with some taste of Lemon, Slight bitterness, Warm tingling sensation at the end.
