Generacion 20 Garnacha Tempore 2020
Generacion 20 Garnacha Tempore
The color of these old vines of Garnacha wine is deep garnet red. The scent is pure and intense. The aromas are complex, such as that of toasted French oak, coffee, herbs (such as laurel, licorice and licorice), also something minerally and something like cherry liqueur. The attack on the palate is soft and the wine fans out in the mouth in which the wood tones and herbs return. The tannins are silky soft and the style is fresh and balanced thanks to the dry soil. Elegant wine, full of flavor with a long aftertaste.
Generación 20 represents the year of birth of Paula and Victor's grandfather. The wine comes from more than 75 year old Garnacha vines.
Bodegas Tempore was born from the Yago Aznar family's passion for wine. And that has been going on for four generations! In 2002, the Yago Aznar family decided that the time was right to produce their own wines from the seventy hectares of vineyards in Lécera, in the heart of the Sierra de Arcos, an inhospitable sub-area of Bajo Aragón.
In addition to a passion for wine, the family has a great respect for the land. They have chosen to plant only indigenous grape varieties, such as garnacha, tempranillo, macabeo and garnacha blanca. The vines are much older than the winery itself. The old, sometimes 70 years old, garnacha sticks are among the young plantings. The vineyards are located on a plateau, approximately 550 meters above sea level. The days are warm, but at night it cools down considerably. This ensures that the grapes ripen evenly and retain their acidity. There is no more than 300 mm of precipitation per year. All Bodegas Tempore vineyards are certified.
Paula and Victor Yago Aznar, brother and sister, are the ones who run the family business where the parents and their families are also active.
The Generación wines are the result of the knowledge accumulated over the generations, which come together in this.
