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

For many centuries now, vintners in the dry and arid regions of Europe have been growing the purple skinned fruits of the Grenache vines for use in a wide range of different wines. Their influence and popularity led to them being planted all over the New World in any region with the correct climatic conditions for them to thrive in, away from the damp or wet weather which causes this particular varietal to very easily rot. Grenache grapes are prized by many as a result of their spicy berry flavors, and the fact that they have a relatively high alcohol content in the bottle. This has led to them being often used as a blending grape, although single variety bottles are also common and make the most of their light body and interesting, rich flavors

Country: Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
