Yolanda Diaz, Jean-Marc Lafage, and Eric Solomon “discovered” a unique part of Aragon – a series of high plateaux centered around the villages of Atea and Acered. At an average elevation of 1000 meters above sea level, these vineyards are among the highest elevation sites within the province of Aragon. Even more interesting is that the soil here is pure schist, the same soil one can find in the Priorat, where Eric Solomon and Daphne Glorian make Clos Erasmus, as well as Maury, where Jean-Marc owns an estate by the name of Chateau Saint-Roch. This unique terroir and the old vines of Garnacha rooted in it, are the origins of Evodia.
Tasting Notes
This 100% Garnacha offers a lovely perfume of spice box, mineral, and wild cherry. This perfectly balanced mix of flavors lends itself to an intensely fruity wine with loads of taste, a smooth texture, and a pure, fruit-filled finish.
Serving Suggestion
Pairs well with white and red meats roasted or grilled, big game, meat casseroles and stews, complex sauces, foie gras and legumes or blue and cured cheeses.
