This is a modern, fruit-forward blend of 95% Garnacha Tinta (red) and 5% Garnacha Blanca (white) grapes. Low extraction with a funky attitude, expect bright, intense notes of strawberry laces, earthy mulch and forest floor. Elegant and restrained, this is a wine that starts to show a meatier side to it after some time in the decanter - if you can hold off that long!

'El Garbi' is a fantastic little micro-project coming out of Spain's Terra Alta region in the region's northeast. El Garbi is the name for the Arab wind that blows through the vineyard and plays a vital role in moderating temperature and ventilating the vines through the oftentimes very hot growing season. The project is the brainchild of our good friend Liam Steevenson, a UK-based Master of Wine who has made quite the habit of kicking off cool, fun, vinous projects around the world, and this is his Spanish soirée. The focus here is Garnacha (Grenache) red and white (or Tinta and Blanca), with the red made in a deliciously drinkable low-extraction style, whilst the white is brimming with texture, toast and spice. These are progressive wines, well worth a look for anybody who likes to flirt with the idea of natural wine and minimal intervention.
