La Viña de Báguena is a serious, elegant, balanced, and powerful garnacha that manages to retain freshness while showing varietal character and plenty of concentration, offering abundant aromatics and notes of fennel, wild berries, and herbs. In a similar vein as the best garnacha wines from the Sierra de Gredos region, La Viña de Báguena manages to be both powerful and elegant, with the mouthwatering drinkability that all of the wines from Juanvi give. It undoubtedly belongs among the top expressions of garnacha produced in Spain each year.
This wine is released in very limited quantities once a year.
Vinification – Whole bunches are hand-harvested, then partially destemmed and crushed. Grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts with a 27-day maceration without temperature control and light punch-downs in two-year-old 400L French barrels. Following fermentation, the wine is racked and rests for ten months in the same barrels. Juanvi wines are bottled without stabilization, clarification, or filtration.
