for this region?
This region, located in the southwest of the Aragon near Zaragoza has evolved from being mainly a bulk wine-producing area to one with more of a distinguished association. The combination of hot and dry summers with high altitude vineyards ensures wines rich in character but without excessive alcohol content.
The majority of these big, bold wines are produced from Garnacha. The region is known for using fruit from older vines and the local wine authority, the Consejo Regulador, has set quality standards based on vine age. Those grown from vines 50 years old or older are given the classification “Calatayud Superior” and are highly sought-after, commanding top prices.
Rosados from Garnacha are also quite common. Other grapes grown in Calatayud are Tempranillo and Mazuelo. Some whites are produced from Viura (Macabeo), Malvasia and Chardonnay.

Bodegas San Alejandro Garnacha Calatayud las Rocas 2008
Snoothrank:
Dark slightly murky purple. Berry, but also alcoholic on the nose. Lots of fruit, blacberry, on the tip of the tongue. Not a heavyweight, that's for sure. I would say medium-bodied. Kind of bitter, viney on the back of the palate. US$10.99 at WIne Club. Read More

The Show Garnacha Calatayud Spain 2010
Snoothrank:
Spicy, inky and bright on the nose with fennel seed, floral and light iodine aromas over a base of sour black fruits dusted with faint woodsy aromas. This is smooth and easy in the mouth with a nice forest floor element early on, accenting the coffee-tinted sour plum and sour cherry fruits of the mid-palate. Theres a nice hit of rhubarb here on ... Read More
