From the Winery “D.O.: Calatayud Variety: 100% Old Vine Garnacha
Aging: 6 Months in French Oak barrels Alcohol: 15%
The winery is located in Villarroya de la Sierra, one of the highest areas of the DO made of Paleolithic materials, mainly quartzite and slate. In addition the soils have the right organic content, which provide sufficient nutrients to the plant with proper aeration. The climate offers little rain and large temperature fluctuations between day and night.
The grapes for Filon come from old vines vineyards, 30-40 years-old, with yields of 2T/Ha and located on the hillsides, 3,000 ft above sea level, around the north zone of Calatayud appellation.
Aged 6 months in French old barrels.”
From the Winery “Bright violet color. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red berries, incense and cola, with a peppery element adding vivacity. Smooth and seamless on the palate, offering sweet raspberry and floral pastille flavors that tighten up in the middle. Shows very good definition and fruity thrust on the subtle, long back end, leaving an echo of spiciness behind.”
