Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is a wine made from Grenache from old vineyards located in the municipality of Badarán (Alto Najerilla). They are planted at 650 metres of altitude facing north, on clayey-ferrous soils.
They are manually harvested and placed in 200-kg crates, with grape selection in the winery. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel deposits with gentle punch-downs. 65% goes through malolactic fermentation and ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels and the rest, 35%, in concrete egg-shaped containers.
Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is an fluid, elegant and honest wine. The aromas of ripe red fruit stand out on the nose, on a delicate mineral background. A delicious Grenache, very representative of the area.
