About Bodegas Breca 2018 Brega, Calatayud, Spain
Calatayud is Spain's highest altitude zone for the cultivation of Garnacha, and produces wines that are incredibly intense yet balanced with bright acidity due to the high altitudes. The slate soils impart a phenomenal minerality to Brega. Primary source records date back to the 7th Century demonstrate the cultivation of Garnacha in the medieval Kingdom of Aragón, which propagated this grape across the Mediterranean, including the South of France and Italy. One of the most unique Garnachas in Spain due to its balance between concentration and acidity.
Jeb Dunnuck scored this 92 Points saying "A step up, the 2018 Brega is pure and elegant, with impressive black raspberry, violet, candied cherry, and sandalwood-like aromas and flavors. It's another medium-bodied, elegant, balanced Garnacha that has ripe tannins and a character-filled."
James Suckling scored this 91 Points saying "Rich blackberries and black olives on the nose with hints of dried red fruit, wild herbs and Christmas spices. Full-bodied and quite generous with sweet blackberries, coated by firm and polished tannins. Dark and flavorful with a supple texture and a fruity and warming finish."
