Description

BARBAS DE GATA
Starting from very old Garnacha vines that survive in very poor granitic soils, at a 900 m altitude. It is Pago los Balancines goal to dignify these vines cultivation, helping to avoid old vines to be pulled off, contributing to reward these men and women commitment to not replace their vines for more profitable cultivations. And also to maintain a wine profile that will disappear if we do not commit to maintain it.
