Description

Discover the bold allure of GFE Laya Garnacha-Monastrell, a captivating red wine hailing from Bodegas Atalaya in Spain's Almansa region. This 2022 vintage masterfully blends 70% Garnacha Tintorera with 30% Monastrell, drawing on the vibrant essence of these native grapes to craft a bottle that's both powerful and inviting.

Pour a glass and let expressive aromas unfold—ripe black fruits burst forth, mingling with whispers of licorice, espresso, and a dash of pepper. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied presence, structured yet approachable, where flavors of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate dance together. Balanced acidity keeps everything harmonious, while soft tannins pave the way to a lingering, satisfying finish that calls you back for more.

Crafted with care, the grapes ferment in stainless steel tanks, locking in their fresh, fruit-forward character. A touch of four months in French oak barrels weaves in subtle layers, enhancing depth without overshadowing the wine's natural vibrancy. At 14.5% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, this dry red (sweetness level 01) offers remarkable value at just $18.49, perfect for stocking your collection or gifting to fellow enthusiasts.
