Raúl begins his personal journey in the Garnacha vineyards of Aragón. He comes to the DO Calatayud, in the area of the Ribota valley, where he will learn about vineyards that are nearly one hundred years old in Cervera de la Cañada.

After passing through Calatayud, Raul Acha heads to the north face of the Moncayo Massif where, accompanied by Toño Calvo, an area expert, he discovers abandoned, wild vineyards, some of them uprooted, such as the one belonging to Miguel, a pastor whom he meets on his journey.

Attracted by the influence of the Atlantic, Raul reaches Uncastillo, just 40 kilometers from the Aragonese Pyrenees, in search of the last Garnacha vineyard in the region. There he will meet José Puig, the winemaker who will show him the secrets of a more than ecological vineyard, virtually wild and with very low yield.

The third stop on this journey through the Ebro Valley leads Raúl to the Priorat, an area that has enjoyed a resurgence that coincides with that of Garnacha. The winemaker and winegrower Francesc Capafons-Osso will guide the oenologist among his characteristic vineyards located on slate terraces.

After his journey through the Ebro Valley, the oenologist returns home and wants to develop a very special wine with grapes from the centenary vineyards that his great-grandfather planted. The whole family works in the harvest, the destemming by hand, the selection grape by grape and the traditional grape stomping.

The last of the wines of the collection “Proyecto Garnachas de España” is a 100% Garnacha ice wine, with grapes harvested under a huge snowfall at the end of December in La Rioja, which provides a very special wine.

After producing these wines, Raúl meets with his father again, to show him the fruit of his work regarding Garnacha, and with other family members, with whom he will taste the six wines in the collection.
