The approachable Garnacha 2017 Castillo de Belarfonso was produced with grapes from the village of Real de San Vicente, the one village in the Sierra de Gredos within the Méntrida appellation. It has a bright ruby color and a bright nose with high-pitched aromas of red fruit and spicy aromas. It's a great introduction to the wines from Gredos. I liked it very much, it surpasses the effect of the warm vintage and delivers good freshness. There were 21,500 bottles produced and was bottled in June of 2018.
