Las Carlinas Garnacha

The wine world is becoming increasingly aware of Garnacha’s exceptional quality and value for money, especially when produced from low-yielding old vines on poor soil at higher altitude. Las Carlinas is in many ways the definitive Garnacha, sourced from the DO Cariñena in Aragón, the DO with the most hectares of Garnacha vines in Spain, many of which are more than 100 years old.

Here, the Garnacha vine thrives in the extreme climate at more than 700m altitude alongside a diversity of wild plants. These include the star-shaped ‘Carlina’ thistle after which this wine is named – pinned on doors to ward off evil spirits, it is a traditional symbol of protection and strength.
