About the vineyard:

Master of Wine Norrel Robertson is a hugely experienced winemaker, who fell in love with the ancient Garnacha bush vines of Calatayud. He has never wanted to leave them. More and more growers, however, are abandoning their vineyards – the conditions aren’t for the faint-hearted – relentlessly hot in summer and freezing through winter. That makes Norrel’s ancient vines all the more precious …. some are true centenarians at 120 years old, and all at least 50.

The wine: From the meagre grapes of his ancient vines, the Flying Scotsman, as he’s known, Norrel makes this powerful, dark Garnacha red. Vines this old and in such meagre stony soil produces minute yields and a wine that speaks boldly of where it’s from – dark fruits and wild mountain herbs of thyme and rosemary, seamlessly marrying with French oak and supported by silky tannins. Amazingly long too.
