Overview

Las Iruelas is a muscular Garnacha from a plot of 60+-year-old, head-pruned vines planted at an elevation of over 1000 meters above sea level. A mixed and sandy terroir of granite, slate, schist, and quartz with patches of clay, this is the most complex soil that Dani & Fer work in the Sierra de Gredos. With beguiling floral aromas that are reminiscent of the Northern Rhône, Las Iruelas shares the same delicate fruit and delineated mineral structure characteristic of the Gredos but pitched deeper and more somber in tone.
