Tasting notes
Prados Garnacha 2021 is characterized by being the true expression of Mediterranean Garnacha, offering the characteristic fruity flavor of the variety
while preserving freshness. Hints of “garrigue” emerge, such as rosemary and thyme, inviting further drinking. Its time in oak adds spicy notes of vanilla and coffee, which, together with its outstanding balance, complexity, and round tannins, create a great wine.
