Tasting notes
The 2022 Malayeto surprised me. This wine is always harmonious and goes beyond the variety even in a warm, dry and ripe year like 2022. And it has a harmony and balance, coming through as clean and expressive, with precision and definition. This is the 10th vintage for this plot of Garnacha grown on an alluvial terrace. It fermented in stainless steel and concrete and matured in a 4,000-liter oak vat and 13 500-liter French oak barrels for 12 months. It has 13.78% alcohol, a pH of 3.4 and 5.5 grams of acidity. 13,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2024.

The 2022 Garnacha Nalayeto from Navarra begins with a reductive, herbal profile and stemmy notes on both the nose and palate. Hints of rose and herbs add to its delicate yet energetic frame. The tannins are grippy and fine as part of a style that has made a conscious and successful effort to restrain Garnacha’s solar character.
