Axial Vinos

A restrained medium-bodied red with aromas of plums and soy sauce and subtle notes of red berries in the background. It has a fine silky texture and is supple – opening up to reveal savoury notes and a bitter cherry finish. Louis believes Cariñena to be the birthplace of Garnacha, although this is disputed by others. The wild, arid, eroded soils of the region, known as Marga, lie over calcareous bedrock. Grapes came from selected vineyards between 425 and 750 metres. Twenty-five percent of the blend was matured in oak barrels and twenty-five percent in egg-shaped tanks with the balance in stainless steel tanks.
