Challao Garnacha 2022

Dominio del Challao is a project of Manu Michelini, a winegrower with his family in Argentina, Uruguay and Spain together with Carlos Fernandez, a producer and winegrower for generations widely rooted in his family project. The town of Labastida, in La Rioja, is what inspires them to make elegant, complex and long-lasting wines. There they bring together five owned plots that constitute 6 hectares of 100% biodynamic vineyards cultivated with animal traction. The vineyards are located in different valleys of the town of Labastida.

Challao Garnacha comes from a vineyard under the Toloño mountain in the central valley of Labastida, where the soils are clay-silty with a high calcareous component, demonstrating the versatility of Garnacha and the power of the place where it comes from. A wine with little expression of fruit but with a lot of depth of aromas and a structured and elegant palate. It has been aged in a single 2000 liter Vosges wood vat for 20 months. RP 95
