Bodegas Langa Aldehuela Old Vines Garnacha Calatayud

Calatayud, Spain
From the Aldehuela single vineyard — old-vine Garnacha at 900m altitude on chalky limestone soils, producing wines of remarkable freshness and aromatic complexity despite the extreme continental conditions. Vivid red with aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate, dried lavender, rosemary, and a stony mineral finish. The altitude produces acidity levels rarely seen in Garnacha, giving the wine an almost northern Rhône-like freshness and elegance.

The wine's bright red fruit and mineral freshness are ideal for grilled lamb. Romesco's smoky pepper and almond character bridges its herb notes while rocket adds bitter freshness.

High-altitude Garnacha with spring asparagus — the wine's wild herb and pomegranate notes bridge to asparagus's bitterness. Ham adds savouriness while the egg yolk moderates the wine's acidity.
