Latitude 40
Country: Spain
Grape Varietal: Garnacha
Day 19 brings us a familiar wine from last year: Latitude 40, a garnacha wine from central Spain. Aromas of ripe red cherries and strawberries fill the glass, with hints of spice and wood. It’s a light bodied wine, but don’t be fooled, there is complexity here, a deep fruit palate with an earthy wood finish. The sunlight of Central Spain makes the grapes sweeter and more full in flavor, which compliments the considerable acidity. Interestingly, they recommend that this wine be paired with charcuterie and some dishes while full of flavor and protein, may be a little too light for a heavier red.
