David Williams’ top 10 Garnachas
Família Nin-Ortiz, Nit de Nin, Priorat, Catalonia, 2017
Brilliantly natural Priorat that doesn’t stint on the savoury-meaty intensity and complex, brooding dark-fruit and olive-tapenade flavours. It has inner life and energy, too, with…
Acústic Celler, Auditori Vinyes Velles MÀgiques de Garnatxa

4 Monos, GR10, Madrid, Spain, 2016

Proyecto Garnachas, La Garnacha Salvaje del Moncayo, 2017
Wild by name and wild by nature, this splendid old-vine Garnacha has a real sense of mountain freshness and scrubland herbiness to go with its…
Viña Zorzal, Garnacha, Navarra, Spain, 2018
Bright and beautiful Garnacha in unoaked, uninhibitedly fruit-driven mode, with finger-staining bright berry fruitiness and a soft and supple palate that scores very highly on…
Borsao, Garnacha, Campo de Borja, Spain, 2018
Year in, year out, one of the best-value reds around – a classic, no-fuss, fruit-forward Garnacha with tumble out-the-glass, vivid brambly fruit, a touch of…
