Our Las Rocas® 2007 Garnacha Viñas Viejas has a deep, ruby, almost purple color, with a spicy, rich cranberry bouquet. Think depth, structure and dark cherry flavors, all supported by elegant oak. Round and full in the mouth, this wine has a fruit-filled finish.

Winemaking for the 2007 Garnacha Viñas Viejas followed our Las Rocas philosophy of balancing all the elements in a well-made wine with as little interference as possible with the natural processes. Cold-soaking the grapes for several days before fermentation helped extract the deep, intense flavors of the old-vine grapes. Fermentations of the vineyard lots lasted nearly two weeks at moderate temperatures (75-82 degrees Fahrenheit ). We allowed all of the developing wine to complete a secondary malolactic fermentation, which softened the mouthfeel and added depth and nuance to the layered flavors in the wine. We used a balance of medium and light toasted French and American oak barrels to condition the wine for nearly a year before it was bottled.
