Oxte Cezanne Garnacha is a vibrant red wine that captures the essence of Spain's celebrated Aragon region. Crafted exclusively from hand-picked Garnacha grapes, this wine reflects a meticulous winemaking process focused on freshness and complexity. The fruit is harvested at the peak of ripeness, followed by gentle destemming and a carefully controlled cold pre-fermentation maceration to extract purity of flavour. After an eight-day fermentation at cool temperatures, Oxte Cezanne is matured on fine lees for added texture and depth, with periodic batonnage to enhance mouthfeel. The result is a lively and approachable Garnacha, perfect for sharing with friends, whether enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a variety of light dishes.
