Bodegas Val de Horna - (Spain)

15 years ago there were only 3 winegrowers active in Ribera del Jiloca. However, this high altitude wine valley offers enormous potential to produce top quality wines. It is located partly in the province of Teruel and partly in Zaragoza. The people of Aylés, Ramon Reula, also noticed this opportunity and, as specialists of the 'Garnacha' grape, they committed themselves fully to prove what is possible with this grape at altitude. The vineyards are now on average almost 40 years old and are located at an altitude of 800m. The wines are aged in 2 meter high concrete eggs, which produces spectacular results. Another crown on the work of the Aylés team, which specialized in revaluing forgotten and long-lost wine regions. They also succeed in producing an extraordinary wine from an 'ordinary' grape like Macabeo. Yields are kept low, there is no irrigation and the wines are produced using the most modern techniques. It is therefore not surprising that Val de Hornas is an undeniable added value in the already varied Spanish wine landscape.

Shiny, cherry red color. In the nose we discover red berries, blackberries, lavender, licorice and fine Provencal herbs. The mouth is remarkably elegant, mineral and blessed with a delicate complexity that keeps the wine unusually captivating. The final is therefore long and challenging and incredibly refined for a Garnacha.
