Winery: Bodegas Viñedos y Crianzas del Alto Aragón (Enate) Avenida de las Artes, 1 – 22314 SALAS BAJAS (Huesca – España – Spain). Viñedos y Crianzas del Alto Aragón (Enate) was founded in 1991 with the goal to produce high-quality wine in the Somontano appellation, and it harvested its first grapes in 1992. The winery also has a strong link to contemporary art: the building itself is an architectural piece of art, including the decoration of the inner spaces. The commitment and love of art is reflected in the wines’ labels, which are reproductions from contemporary artists’ paintings. Its peculiar label has been designed by Vicente Badenes.

- DO: Somontano

Climate is harsh, tempered only by some scarce Mediterranean breezes. Handpicked at an optimal ripening state, the grapes were destemmed, slightly crushed and cold-soaked for 5 hours. Then they were fully crushed by pneumatic press, after which the resulting wine juice was drawn off and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Finally, Enate Gewürztraminer 2015 was clarified and filtered before its bottling.

A Crime is Afoot 
Very interesting, Jose. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a Gewurz from Spain before.
Thank you Jacqui. Torres of Catalonia has long grown Gewurz for its Viña Esmeralda but perhaps the best versions can be found in the high altitude vineyards of Somontano in the north of Spain (Enate, Viñas del Vero, and other producers).
