Cerro Basalto

Garnatxa

Chile's best Garnacha

A striking aromatic expression: intense strawberry mingled with fresh herbal notes. Juicy on the palate, with soft, mouth-filling tannins and a persistence that closes on a fresh, mineral finish. A pure expression of the basalt rock that sustains this Garnacha at the highest point of our Los Lingues estate.

Pairing

Paella, tapas and Iberian ham

Fruity, medium alcohol and soft tannins — very versatile and easy-drinking. Perfect with paella, tapas, Iberian ham, pizza and soft cheeses. The freshness and elegance of basalt-grown Garnacha suits lighter pairings beautifully: seared tuna (tataki-style), beef carpaccio, or Moroccan tagine dishes that blend savory with sweet touches like prunes or apricots.
