If you are on the hunt for a gift for someone who likes wine, don't move! You've come to the right place ;)
Here are some packs that will make it very easy to get your gift right for a wine lover. We regret to say that choosing will be a bit harder, so if after reading the proposal you have any doubts, do not hesitate to write to us: contact@raices.wine
For garnacha lovers, the Las Pizarras Discovery Boxes:
The garnacha is our talisman grape, the one we care for and pamper in Calatayud. The Las Pizarras collection is named after the soil of the vineyards where we grow it, pure slate stone. The climatic conditions are extreme (because they are harsh) and the result is equally extreme (because it is delicious). With these wines we have created two select packs that will make any wine lover happy to receive them.
Discovery Box Las Pizarras 2 bottles:
- Viña Acered: 100% garnacha, aged 6 months in 225-liter barrels.
- Fabla #506: garnacha and Syrah. Only 30% of the garnacha (yes, we are precise) is aged 3 months in barrel.
Discovery Box Las Pizarras 3 bottles:
If you liked the 2-bottle collection so much that you want another bottle, great! You have the 3-bottle box, which besides the two wines we mentioned before, also includes: Viña Alarba, a 100% garnacha wine, aged 6 months in 225-liter barrels. An explosion of red fruits with mineral touches (the slate soils doing their job...)
Hidden secrets of the vineyard, in the Raíces Discovery Boxes:
At Raíces Ibéricas we love discovering and highlighting native varietals grown in Spain, some of them true rarities that are even at risk of disappearing.
They are wine treasures that any wine lover would want to try at least once in their life. And that could be your gift. You can choose from 2, 3 or 6 bottles. Let us introduce them to you!
