Product Description

Overview

Winery: Yasa / Virgen de la Sierra

Yasa Tinto Old Vines Garnacha Calatayud 2011 is  made from 100% old vines Garnacha grapes (40 years old on average).  Yasa is a term used in southern Rioja and northern Aragon (Calatayud) which means a dry stream bed.


This is a very elegant and complex wine offering blackberry, smoky and peppery aromas. Rich and smooth on the palate with fruity flavors and a long finish. This is a very good value from Calatayud and an ideal companion to game, roasted meats and cured cheeses

(all stainless steel):  Deep ruby.  Strawberry and raspberry on the nose, with floral and cracked pepper qualities adding complexity.  Tangy red fruit flavors are sharply focused and given a bitter edge by a note of cherry skin.  Finishes with good snap, no tannins and a lingering floral quality.-Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 88 Points

The Yasa Estate

Founded in 1954, Virgen de la Sierra is a grape growers co-op with 579 members, and 710 hectares (1,753 acres) of vines growing at 750 meters above sea level. The average age of the vines is close to 40 years. The principal grape variety is Garnacha (60%). Others include Macabeo or Viura (20%) and Tempranillo (16%), with the remaining 4% being a mix of experimental varieties: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay.

The Yasa Vineyards

The region's semi-arid climate and high altitude make for ideal growing conditions for quality Garnacha and Macabeo grapes. Hot dry summers, with a sharp shift in daytime to nighttime temperatures let grapes reach full ripeness, while maintaining good levels of acidity. The red iron-rich oils are rocky, with a mix of sand and gravel and a low amount of organic material. A thick clay subsoil helps retain moisture through the long dry summer months.
