Cinco Leguas Rompecepas Garnacha 2024

Madrid, SpainCinco Leguas is a newer project from winemaker Marc Isart, Miguel Santiago, and their Irish importers Vinos Tito. Rompecepas Garnacha, now with a smart new label, comes from organic vines in San Martín, Gredos, planted at 830m in sandy soils. This was destemmed with a short 5 day maceration in concrete before aging 9 months in 500L barrels and 700L tinajas. Pouring a lighter red hue, this slender garnacha works fresh cherries, raspberries, wild strawberries along the palate, with a finely raspy texture, and a slight nub of tannins on the pink peppercorn dushed finish. A very stripped down take, best enjoyed as intended, with a slight chill.Tasted: 02 October 2026Tasted by: Prices:
