Red dry
Pago Aylés Unexpected Garnacha BIO 2024 is a great example of how Pago Aylés winery from Aragon — one of the rare Spanish wineries in the category ("Vino de Pago") — professionally reveals the potential of a single variety (100% Garnacha). The wine is organic (BIO), which reflects the winery's respect for terroir and sustainable winemaking. A wine with a pure varietal character: fruity, natural, without excessive intervention — an ideal option for those looking for authenticity and regional uniqueness.
Intense aromas of red and dark berries — cherries, raspberries — are revealed in the bottle, with subtle mineral inclusions of the forest floor. The wine is medium-bodied, with juicy fruitiness, which provides a lively fruit sweetness, while maintaining a tight structure and sufficient acidity. Tannins are soft, silky; texture — elegant, but at the same time lively. Long spicy aftertaste.
The Garnacha grapes are hand-picked, sorted, pressed, and then fermented at controlled temperatures, precisely to preserve the aromatic profile and fruitiness of the variety. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, which allows it to retain the pure, clean Garnacha character and its natural ecological character.
Residual sugar content: ~ 2.5 g/l.
Total acidity: ~ 5.2 g/l.
Serve at 16-18 °C with minced pork, veal stews with vegetables, longer-aged Iberico hams, and mature sheep's milk cheeses.
Bodega Pago Aylés
Bodega Pago Aylés is located in northeastern Spain, near the city of Zaragoza, midway between Madrid and Barcelona. Ramón Reula's family wine project began in the 1980s. At that time, it became one of the largest private historical estates in Aragon (3,200 hectares). Aylés is more than just a winery and vineyard: it is a clearly defined territory where nature and wine have harmoniously coexisted for centuries. It is an impressive landscape of contrasts, encompassing the Huerva River, which carves spectacular ravines. This landscape is blessed with clay, limestone, and chalk soils, deep caves, and underground rivers, to which the vineyards bring a true symphony of life and color. Understanding the importance of environmental care, all vineyards are currently under ecological and sustainable farming, and the 2020 harvest received organic winemaking certification. In 2010, Aylés received the "Vino de Pago" classification, which is the highest quality designation for wine in Spain.
Wine Style
Bodega Pago Aylés wines are characterized by the distinct "terroir" reflection of the region, elegance, and complexity. The winery's philosophy is to combine respect for nature and traditions with modern technologies.
Prestigious Vineyards
Bodega Pago Aylés manages one large, contiguous vineyard, which is unique due to its geographical location and soil composition:
This contiguous vineyard is the pride of Bodega Pago Aylés and the main guarantee of their wines' quality.
Aging and Consumption Period
It is recommended to taste Bodega Pago Aylés wines within five years of their production date to enjoy their youthful freshness. However, red wines, which are aged in oak barrels for 12 to 24 months, and then for some time in bottles, can be kept longer under suitable conditions.
