Los Galafones Reserva 2017
This wine is born from the life and legacy of Ana Meler.
On September 27th, 1982, as the harvest was underway, Ana came into the world. That very day, her father Andrés planted a vineyard—an enduring tribute to his newborn daughter.
Four decades later, those vines continue to flourish, forming the heart of the Crianza and Reserva that Ana now lovingly creates. For more than twenty years, she has guided the harvest, blending the wisdom of three generations with the artistry of modern winemaking.
In 2022, Ana welcomed her son Pablo, and with him, a new vineyard was planted—just as her father once did. A gesture of love, a promise for the future, and a story carried forward in every bottle.
Tasting note
Good intense cherry red colour. A complex nose, most noticeable is the considerable amount of fruit, mainly red fruit, as well as some notes acquired from the time spent in French oak casks (toasted, mineral and spicy notes). On the palate, the wine is fleshy, well-structured, and evenly balanced between fruit and wood. The aftertaste is pleasant.
Serving temperature
Recommended serving temperature around 18ºC.
Food Pairing
This wine is ideal with red meat, tuna, braised dishes, Iberico meat and a cheese platter.
Vinification
The old vines at the foot of the Pyrenees, with low yields (about 2 kg per rank) but very high concentration, form the base of this mineral-rich Reserva. The Cabernet and Merlot are aged separately from each other in French (medium toast) oak barrels for at least fifteen months. No sulphite is added to this traditional preparation.
Surrounding area
There are few places in the world where such excellent conditions come together as they do in Somontano. The mountains in the Pyrenees, with a climate of freezing winters and extremely high temperatures in summer, are perfect for the production and elaboration of exceptional wines.
