Amatria - La Rocha

$42.00

Amatria is born in 2020 as a family project managed by Josu Amatria, oenologist by profession, and Raquel Elizalde, a lawyer. Together, they firmly believed in the quality of this winegrowing region with a main focus in the Garnacha grape which adapts really well to the terroir. Josu’s experience comes after spending several years in wine regions in Chile, California and Spain. In 2020 Josu found small vineyards in his father’s natal town of Ayegui that go back a century ago and the project began to take form.

This wine comes from a 45-year-old bush-trained Viura vineyard located in Villa Mayor de Monjardín. The vineyard sits on soils dominated by clay and limestone components. The harvest took place manually on September 25,2024, with grapes carefully collected in 15 kg boxes to ensure freshness and quality. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes underwent a one-day cold maceration, followed by gentle pressing in a stainless steel vertical press. The must fermented in new 500-liter French oak barrels. After fermentation, the wine remained in contact with its lees for 6 months in the same barrels, gaining complexity and structure. Bottled on: March 23, 2025.

Pale straw yellow in color, bright and clear. Elegant and complex aromatic profile, featuring white flowers, stone fruits like peach, and fresh white fruit notes. A subtle touch of vanilla from the barrel aging adds depth and sophistication. Lively acidity is beautifully balanced by generous volume. Vibrant citrus flavors are complemented by spicy and mineral nuances, along with a delicate salinity that extends the finish. The aftertaste is long, fresh, and harmonious, leaving lingering notes of citrus and stone fruit, confirming excellent aging potential.

Pairs well with seafood, Asian dishes, paella, creamy cheeses and lemon pie desserts.
