    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    100% Garnacha from a range of vineyards between 80 and 120 years old, averaging 600m in elevation, fermented in stainless steel and raised in neutral barrels of varying sizes for 24 months. Aromatic, chalky red fruits and wild mountain herbs brush with balsamic notes and traces of citrus. Beautiful acidity, charming tannins and a bright shimmering finish, the El Terroir is delicious straight out the gate.

    Critic Reviews

    Luis Gutierrez,

    Both wines from 2018 showed very fresh and young, younger than you'd have anticipated. The 2018 El Terroir follows the path of previous vintages and is a Garnacha selection of their organic and biodynamically farmed plots (but not certified), fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrel for 18 months. It's clean and aromatic and has herbal freshness, a certain leafiness that even makes me think of Mencia. The oak is neatly integrated and folded into the wine, which comes through as balanced and elegant, with a Mediterranean twist that is characteristic from San Martin. It has a medium to full-bodied palate with very fine, chalky tannins. 24,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2022.
