This week is the harvest of the Garnaxa grapes started. Garnatxa Negra the Catalan name for Garnacha red. One of the indigenous races of the DO Montsant region with a share of 32%, the largest red variety. This year 14 days later than normal.
After the winter he comes to life in the spring a little later than the white grapes and the red Sira grapes. And matures on average around the end of September for harvesting.
It is a strong growing plant and productive. Is drought resistant.
The wine from this grape can contain a lot of alcohol, giving a deep red color, aromas of ripe fruit, blackberry and pepper with average acids.
This species is at Terra Personas on the R-110 rootstock.
The American rootstock R-110 is strong, can withstand drought and reasonably well against calcareous soils. Hates too much water, but we do not have this unfortunately over here.
About 500 mm of rain per year is the maximum.
