Cooperativa del Cadalso - Vinos de Madrid 'Granito del Cadalso' 2021

A new partnership between Sierra de Gredos rockstar Comando G and the local cooperative. It is made from Garnacha sourced from the granitic and sandy soils of the village. The vines range in age from 20 to well over 70 years old. Harvested by hand, Granito del Cadalso is fermented and aged in concrete with a 15-20 day maceration with regular remontage.

Hand harvested, natural yeast fermentation in concrete tanks, 15-20 day maceration, remontage twice daily. Aged 6 months in concrete tank.

"The 2021 Granito del Cadalso has more fruit and is rounder, more approachable- looking, from locations in the valley that deliver that profile. It fermented mostly in concrete vats, destemmed and with indigenous yeasts, and had an élevage in concrete of approximately six months. It has notes of red berries and herbs, with purity and a gentle mouthfeel through very fine, chalky tannins." – 90 points, Wine Advocate
