Corona de Aragon Special Selection 08, 50/50 Garnacha-Carinena, 100 Percent Good Juice

There are wines you buy once in while and others you keep going back to.

A combination of arrid soils, 40 year old vines, exposure and altitude (warm days, cool nights) give this Special Selection its rich fruit and robust character.

Great buy too...
