Decanter described Garnacha as "Spain's most exciting indigenous red variety." Its old bush vines produce lovely deep, ripe fruit and complexity. You'll taste all that in this medal-winning, barrel-aged red from the sun-basked mountains of Navarra.

Tucked away in the mountainous north of Navarra, you’ll find tiny plots of old vines that have been passed down the family line for generations. But times are changing. These steep terraced vineyards have to be worked by hand and yields are extremely low. Hard work and expensive to maintain, many are simply being abandoned. Fortunately, winemaker Gonzalo Celayeta has stepped in to help. He’s rescued a collection of these once-forgotten vineyards and restored them to their former glory; the result is Unsi Terrazas. Made from old-vine Garnacha, aged for six months in French oak, it's an expressive red with berry fruit and hints of the wild herbs that surround the vineyard. A star with roast meats (suckling pig in Spain!) or a rich casserole.

"Showy and ripe, smoky and spicy notes from élevage in oak. Juicy and velvety" Critic, James Suckling
