Vineyard

Around 100 hectares of vines, with an average age of 40 years, are planted at a density of approximately 2,500 vines per hectare. The vineyard is situated at the foot of the Sierra de Moncayo mountain range in Spain’s Aragon province. Here, the vines are perfectly adapted to the unique micro-climate of long, hot summers and fiercely cold and dry winters.

Food pairing

The perfect match for richly-flavoured meats, roast vegetables and mature cheeses. Also great with traditional Spanish fare, such as pata negra cured serrano ham or spicy chorizo sausage.
The wine is ready to drink now and is best enjoyed within 2 years.
Serve at room temperature with fine food and good friends.

Estate

Undoubtedly the best value Spanish wine money can buy! That is the motto of Mirone. Founded in 2002 by an international team of young, but highly experienced wine professionals with the desire to create something fresh, exciting and new. They are also and environmentally focused company working to maintain the highest levels of sustainability in all facets of their production.

Ageing

The wine is fresh from the most recent harvest with neither oak nor bottle ageing. Instead, the emphasis is on developing & expressing the fresh, naturally fruit-driven characteristics of ripe grapes.

Soil

The loose, rocky soils provide excellent aeration and drainage, abound in limestone and offer very low levels of organic material. The result is Borja’s characteristically small, bush-like vines and the thriving autochthonous Garnacha grapes.

Tasting notes

Deep cherry-red hue, with touches of violet over a deep, ruby background. The rich red-berry aromas are complemented by notes of cool fresh pepper and hints of dark chocolate.

Vinification

The winery is situated in the small town of Borja which is well-known for their production of the highest quality Garnacha and Tempranillo grapes. This mountainous region produces wine with elegance and freshness. The vineyards are between 20-25 years of age, traditionally farmed and hand harvested to ensure the best possible quality. The two grape varieties were slowly fermented separately in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks prior to the final blending and bottling.
