The Bodegas Breca Old Vine Garnacha is crafted from 100% Garnacha (or Grenache), take from vines planted between 1900 and 1940. A beautiful and true expression of the grape, this deep ruby colored wine is intensely aromatic, smelling of candied blackberry, cherry-cola, and violet, with a mineral tinged background. The palate offers tastes of dark berries, confected violets, and Asian spices such as star anise. The long finish furthers the complexity of the Breca, with vanilla and black pepper notes ending what is a medium-bodied, fully ripe, and extremely delicious wine.

The Breca Old Vine Garnacha is a lively, full flavored, and complex wine, and needs the same from a food pairing to work well. Paella’s, pork stews, or strongly herbed and spiced chicken or turkey dishes would do well paired with it.

Bodegas Breca is a project started by Jorge Ordonez in 2005, in the Catalayud and Aragon DO’s. Consisting entirely of Garnacha, Bodegas Breca owns 265 hectares of dry farmed old vines, some over 100 years in age. The altitude, 950-1000m, and dry heat of the region lead to incredibly rich, powerful wines, with a depth and complexity that can only be attained with vines of this age. The Breca is hand harvested and sorted, and fermented in open stainless steel tanks. It is then aged for 18-21 months in a combination of small French oak barriques, and 500-600 liter large oak barrels, all of which are at least 3 vintages old.
