100% Tempranillo from Vineyards 30 to 100-year-old vines in Moradillo
(dominant in the production of this vintage), Baños, Tubilla and Anguix with predominantly clay-calcareous and sandy-clay soils, with yields of between 3,000 and 3,500 kg per ha.
12 days of fermentation and maceration with native yeasts, daily pump-overs
and temperatures up to 28º. Ageing 18 months in French oak barrels.
50,800 bottles and 1,015 magnums produced.
Low yields due to drought and two late frosts in late April that affected the vineyards already sprouting. Summer continued with the trend of the year: early, dry and warm. The grapes matured 20 days early with impeccable health and excellent concentration.
Very expressive on the nose with a predominance of red fruit and floral notes.
Fleshy, energetic and balanced. Excellent ageing potential.
Garmón is produced from a selection of 40 to 80-year-old vines grown in smallholdings in the eastern part of the Ribera del Duero region: Baños, Tubilla and Anguix, on the right bank of the river; and Moradillo, on the left bank. New vines have been grown in Valbuena and Olivares since 2018.
Garmón Continental is the García family’s (Bodegas Mauro and San Román Bodegas y Viñedos) commitment to ancestral, smallholder viticulture based on old, vineyards of low vigour situated in high, cool, and continental riverside areas with a long maturity cycle.
The 2014 vintage was the first for Garmón, the only wine produced at the all-new winery of the same name built over a three-hectare plot in “Pago de la Barca” opposite the Duero as it passes through Quintanilla de Onésimo and Olivares in the heart of the Ribera del Duero region.
With Garmón Continental, the García family completed its unique trilogy of wineries in the Duero Valley – Mauro (Tudela de Duero) and San Román (Toro). A passionate and exclusive completely family-run vineyard project focusing on the Tempranillo o Tinto Fino variety.
