This
Pinyolet Garnacha brings to mind some New World wines. It offers a ripe fruit
bomb of black and red berries, with a powerful structure and pretty good
acidity. It is made by Compañía de Vinos del Atlántico, a company founded on
2002 by Alberto Orte and Patrick Mata, two Spanish entrepreneurs who
currently produce wines in 18 different appellations. Garnacha grapes for
Pinyolet were planted in the municipality of Capçanes in 1962 and are organically
farmed. The wine matures 6 months in stainless steel tanks with its lees.
