Gredos, grenache and granite
Wine critic Luis Gutiérrez, author of Gredos: The Last Frontier, explores the three 'G's' that define this booming wine region.
The expert explains how the region's granite soils and high-altitude Garnacha vines in the Sierra de Gredos produce red wines that are vertical, mineral and elegant, with a unique freshness and minerality thanks to the poor soil, steep slopes and extreme temperature fluctuations. Gutiérrez also highlights the rebirth of this variety after decades of neglect, promoting wines with minimal intervention that establish Gredos as a paradise of pure terroir and a world-class wine region.
