"Plenty of ripe, red fruit with baked cherries, strawberries and some white pepper. Juicy and bright on the palate with a medium body and a slightly warming finish. Drink now."

Jeb Dunnuck, 90 Points

All Garnacha, the light ruby-hued 2021 +Altitud offers a pretty perfume of spiced red fruits, leafy herbs, rose petal, and loamy earth. It's medium-bodied and nicely balanced, with savory tannins and a Pinot Noir-like vibe and complexity."

Winemaker Notes:

"The Alto Horizonte project is based in the village of Navatalgordo, in the province of vila, flanking the north and south banks of the Rio Alberche. The mountainous terrain creates one of the most unique and challenging geographies for cultivating vitis vinifera in all of Spain, which, combined with emigration from the region has resulted in a massive loss of old vineyards, and a total lack of new plantings. This is one of the coolest and highest altitude appellations for the cultivation of Garnacha in Spain. +Altitud is Aurelio Garca's entry level village wine blending fifty sites from the town of Navatalgordo."
