Nestled in a valley between the Sierra de Madrid and the Sierra de Gredos, the town of San Martín de Valdeiglesias is home to Vinedos Tierra Calma. The name, meaning ‘calm earth’, is befitting as the wines are profoundly influenced by the soils, microclimates, and serenity of the region. With production based solely on the cultivation of Garnacha, the wines provide an unobscured view of the terroir across a single varietal. The vineyards, surrounded by the granite hills, integrate harmoniously with the native rockroses, pines, and juniper scrubs, which impart their own subtleties on the wines; it’s with loving care, tranquillity and perseverance that these details are expressed.
Tasting Notes:
Wild, red fruited aromas of raspberry, strawberry and cherry mingle with the subtle sweet, toasted elements from its short time in barrel. The palate is impressively balanced; fruit, tannin, alcohol and acid are noticeably harmonious and supportive. This wine is youthful and thoroughly drinkable.
Pair it With:
The high intensity flavors of Grenache match well with roasted meats, roasted vegetables and foods spiced with Asian 5-spice and cumin.
