Soto Manrique El Galayo Tinto 2023

Soto Manrique El Galayo Tinto 2023 is a bright, modern expression of Garnacha from Cebreros in Spain’s Sierra de Gredos. Made from old, low-yielding bush vines grown at high altitude on granite and slate soils, it is fragrant with strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, wild herbs and floral notes. Fresh, direct and energetic, it has fine tannins, lively acidity and surprising length.

Soto Manrique was founded by Jesús “Chuchi” Soto to revive the region’s neglected old vineyards and produce wines that express their mountain origins. Fermented naturally in concrete and matured for six months in large French oak vats, El Galayo retains its freshness and pure fruit character. 91 Points — Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate: “Very clean…with an expressive nose of ripe berries…very fine tannins.”
