Gómez Cruzado, Pancrudo Selección Terroir Rioja, 2021 Bannockburn Crisp acidity and a hintThe old bush trained Garnacha vines are planted in red ferrous clay soils in the rolling hills of Badarn (near the upper Najerilla), due south of Haro. The vineyards are north facing at around 650m altitude. The grapes are hand harvested into 20kg crates, and are sorted by hand at the winery.
