Straw lemon yellow color with aromas of fresh white flesh fruits, floral and oaky spice notes. On the palate flavors of pear, ripe apple and white peaches with honeysuckle, herbs and oak notes. Medium+ finish, ending with fruit, spice, oak and a citrus mineral character. — 4 months ago

Winemaker note: “Pale straw-yellow in color, the bouquet is clean and expressive. The aroma sends scents of fresh white flowers, green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus. This wine stands out on the palate. You can taste poached pear, pineapple, apricot, and mandarin oranges with hints of ground ginger, honeysuckle, and lemon thyme. It has an excellent balance between acidity and creaminess, making it an easy drinking wine that is at once rich and full-bodied. With a very pleasant aftertaste that beckons you to take another sip.” — a year ago

Well this is quite an interesting wine, opened up after an hour. Perfumed nose with white tea notes, peach, coconut, nuts and flowers.
In the mouth very full and round. Sweet, sour and some bitter tones. Even some salted licorice. — 3 years ago

8 hours or so decanted, double decanted, brought this around nicely. Again another wine this evening that only got better. Big, bold tempranillo that has some resolved, velvety tannin of a wine of 15+ years but the fruit of wine maybe 7-8 years old...mostly primary, but deep. — 5 years ago

Azufre y Fosforo en nariz, mineralidad dominante en paldar con una acidez cortante. En cada sorbo continua sorprendiendote, de esos vinos que no vas a olvidar. Bodega que tiene tres distintas localizaciones, esta ubicada en tenerife, islas canarias. — 4 months ago

Enjoyed this somewhat exotic wine. Recommended by a sommelier at a wine shop. Apparently the grape was assumed extinct for 400 years until it was discovered growing on someone’s property in the 1980s. Taste is akin to a Nebbiolo. Blueberry and blackberry on the nose. Bright berries with balanced acidity and dryness. Would love to have again. — 5 years ago

San Gregorio – Las 75 Vendimias – Red 2021
Calatayud DO – Aragón, Spain 🇪🇸

Overview
A tribute wine honoring Emilio González’s 75 harvests, sourced from old, high-altitude vineyards in Calatayud. This Garnacha-driven blend (70% Garnacha, 30% Tempranillo) captures the rugged character of the region, elevation, stony soils, and traditional viticulture, resulting in a wine that is both expressive and grounded, with warmth, balance, and authenticity.

Aromas & Flavors
Ripe black cherry, wild strawberry, and plum lead, followed by dried Mediterranean herbs, licorice, and gentle baking spice. Subtle earthy and mineral notes emerge with air, reflecting the old-vine origin and high-altitude terroir.

Mouthfeel
Medium-to-full bodied with rounded, supple tannins. Garnacha brings generosity and warmth, while Tempranillo adds structure and grip. Fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced through a smooth, savory finish.

Food Pairings
Grilled lamb, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom dishes, lentil stews, aged Manchego, or rustic Spanish fare with olive oil, roasted peppers, and slow-cooked meats.

Verdict
A soulful, well-priced Spanish red that delivers true sense of place. Honest, expressive, and comforting, this is old-vine Garnacha done right, approachable now, yet structured enough to hold its own at the table.

Did You Know?
Calatayud is one of Spain’s highest-altitude DOs, with many vineyards planted between 700–1,000 meters, helping Garnacha retain freshness and balance even in warm vintages.

🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
This is real Spain in a glass, old vines, elevation, history, and soul. A wine I happily recommend when authenticity matters more than flash. — 6 months ago
