EL GARNACHO DE LA FAMILIA ACHA

This is a very personal wine produced by the oenologist Raul Acha and his family with the grapes harvested in the centenary vineyard their ancestors planted over one hundred years ago and that now, as is typical of Garnacha, offers some superb wines. The whole production process of this wine was carried out by hand by the members of the Acha family.
