Food pairings: Grilled red meats, game stews, poultry, roasts, cured and blue cheeses, Serrano ham, charcuterie, mushrooms, and pork.
Winemaking: After fermentation in small stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature, the 2022 was aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels.
Vineyards and terroir: The grapes come from a selection of old, low-yielding Garnacha vineyards on the hillsides of Calatayud, in mainly decomposed slate and gravelly clay soils. The fruit is drawn from a tight selection of those old hillside vineyards.
Family and history: Atteca Armas is produced by Bodegas Ateca, a Gil Family Estates house named for the town of Ateca in Zaragoza, in the Calatayud appellation. The winery was founded in 2005.
