Las Iruelas is a muscular Garnacha from a plot of 60+ year old, head-pruned vines planted at an elevation of over 1000 meters above sea level. A mixed and sandy terroir of granite, slate, schist and quartz with patches of clay, this is the most complex soil that Dani Landi works in the Sierra de Gredos.
Hand harvested, the whole cluster grapes undergo natural yeast fermentation in open vats. The wine is then aged for 16 months in 500 litre French oak barrels.
With beguiling floral aromas that are more reminiscent of the Northern Rhône than the other bottlings from Dani, Comando G or Marañones, Las Iruelas shares the same delicate fruit and delineated mineral structure characteristic of the Gredos, but pitched deeper and more somber.
Alcohol: 14.5%

Las Uvas de la Ira is made with maximum avoidance of any aggressive procedure, therefore undergoing gentle but long macerations, with 100% stalks, utilizing indigenous yeasts and large volume containers.
The wine is matured for 10 months in 2000 or 3000-litre large French oak casks.
Dark cherry coloured, this is a wine of low density with an abundance of tears yet without any tinging of the glass. With an elegant nose, it is serious and profound, fresh and very fruit-driven, with spicy hints of pepper, mineral and faintly balsamic.
Superb acidity dances on the palate, with less fruit intensity than on the nose, Medium weight in structure and body, it is a tremendously easy to drink Garnacha.

The Garnacha here is sourced from a tiny, 1 hectare vineyard near the village of Cerebros in the Sierra de Gredos, but outside the Méntrida D.O. The vineyards are planted on slate soils, with quartz and red clay, at 950 metres above sea level. The vine ages are approximately 70 years. On this particular plot, the climate is Mediterranean with continental influences.
This is a superb example of Dani's drive to deliver Garnacha’s potential to make very fine wines and is one of the jewels in Cosecha’s portfolio.
The grapes are hand-harvested. Whole clusters undergo natural yeast fermentation in open-top oak vats with gentle extraction and a
total of 60 days of maceration. The wine is then aged for 14
months in 1,500 litre oak foudres and one French oak barrel. The wine
not filtered, fined or stabilized.Very intense aromatics, incredible freshness, and nervous acidity.
On the nose, you'll discover pure and bright red berry fruit, with
delicate floral notes and peppery spices. The palate is greeted with a delicate, yet expressive, and incredibly fresh bouquet of fruit and delightful spice. It continues with an elegant, long and persistent finish.Alcohol: 14.5%
