Rubén Díaz, Dale, Garnacha, Cerebros, Spain, 2024
Rubén Díaz is part of a new wave of growers redefining Garnacha in the rugged mountains of Cebreros, west of Madrid. Working with old vines planted at elevation on decomposed granite soils, Díaz focuses on freshness, transparency, and drinkability rather than power. Dale is his most direct and expressive cuvée, intended to showcase the energy of Garnacha grown in this high-altitude, continental climate.
The 2024 vintage is bright and open, offering red cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry layered with subtle herbal notes and a clean mineral edge. The palate is light on its feet, driven by fresh acidity and fine, sandy tannins that give the wine shape. Juicy, lifted, and highly drinkable, this is a modern Cebreros Garnacha.
Varietal: Garnacha
Appellation: Cebreros, Castilla y León, Spain
Farming: Sustainably farmed; low-intervention
Style: Red. Fresh, vibrant, and mineral-driven
