Rated 91 by Wine Advocate
The 2018 Ternario 2 is pure Garnacha Tintorera from a large plot of ungrafted 22-year-old vines on clay and limestone soils at 750 meters above sea level. Part of the grapes from this large plot are used for this wine and other parts for the Ternario 10. It fermented in concrete with part of full clusters and had a long maceration. It matured in an oak vat and used 225-, 300- and 500-liter oak barrels for 10 months. This has a lot less oak than the 2017 and is more approachable and expressive. It has nice aromatics, with some flowers and Mediterranean herbs, and a chalky texture with the vibrant sensation and added freshness of the 2018 vintage. It combines some dusty tannins and juicy fruit. These are impressive Garnacha Tintorera bottlings with unusual finesse. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2020.

Varietal: Grenache

The Grenache grape varietal has its origins in the dry and arid regions of central Spain, where it continues to thrive to this day under the blazing sun of this region. However, its popularity and versatility has meant that these purple skinned grapes have spread all over the Old and New World and have become of the most widely planted grape varietals on earth. The tightly bunched, round fruit of the Grenache vine can be rigorous and prodigious in the correct conditions, but is often struggling against various types of rot and mildew. Thanks to modern techniques for avoiding such problems, Grenache grape farmers now enjoy strong and high quality yields which they can use to produce the distinctive light bodied and spicy wines associated with this grape.

Country: Spain

Spanish wines are renowned world-wide for carrying all the passion and character of the Spanish culture within them. Any lover of Spanish wine would undoubtedly be able to confirm this notion, as the variety and range of flavors and aromas coming from the high end of Spanish produce is truly impressive, and continues to delight and fascinate both newcomers and the more experienced. Spain benefits massively from an ideal climate for wine production and vine cultivation, with its long, scorching hot summers and far reaching oceanic breezes working perfectly with the native and imported grape varietals, which thrive on the mineral rich soils that cover much of the country. With centuries of knowledge, and generations of expertise under their belts, Spanish wineries continue to focus on raising the quality of their nation's wines, helped along the way by relatively new laws and regulations regarding regional excellence and representativeness.
