The Sindicat La Figuera 2021 is a refreshing and vibrant unoaked Garnacha that stands out for its unique qualities, thanks to the elevated altitude of its vineyards in Montsant, Spain. This altitude imparts a distinct freshness, setting it apart from other wines in the region.
The wine’s aromas are infused with bright citrus and subtle floral notes, delivering a bouquet that’s lighter and more delicate than typical Garnacha wines. The combination of the higher elevation and the traditional winemaking methods, such as fermentation in underground concrete tanks, results in a wine that is exceptionally fresh and pure.
On the palate, the Sindicat La Figuera 2021 offers a light yet expressive experience. The absence of oak allows the Garnacha grape to fully express its natural fruit flavors, making it an honest and characterful red wine. The fruit profile includes hints of red berries and soft herbal undertones, with a lively acidity that keeps the wine feeling energetic and clean.
The texture is smooth, with a fresh, light body, making it an ideal red for those who appreciate elegance and finesse over heaviness or bold tannins. The finish is long and satisfying, echoing the wine’s refreshing character.
This wine pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, from grilled vegetables to light meats or even Mediterranean cuisine. The Sindicat La Figuera 2021 is a beautiful expression of Garnacha that showcases the unique qualities of Montsant’s terroir.
