Honoro Vera Garnacha 750ml - Item Code: 03807
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
The first sip of Honoro Vera Garnacha 750ml is like a burst of ripe blackberries and violets, unfolding into a plush, juicy palate that lingers with hints of cracked pepper and wild herbs. Crafted in Spain from the expressive Garnacha grape, this red wine delivers an inviting balance of fruit and spice at 14.50% ABV, making it both vibrant and approachable. Its supple tannins and lively acidity make it a natural companion for roasted lamb or the nutty richness of Manchego cheese, elevating every bite with its bold yet harmonious character.
Producer Information: Bodegas Ateca
Bodegas Ateca, established in 2005 in the Calatayud region of Aragón, Spain, is deeply rooted in the rugged hillsides surrounding the village of Ateca. The winery was founded as part of the Gil Family Estates project, with a mission to revive old-vine Garnacha vineyards that thrive in slate-rich soils at high altitudes. Their approach centers on minimal intervention and careful vineyard selection to express the unique terroir of Calatayud through concentrated, expressive wines. Beyond their flagship Garnacha-based reds, Bodegas Ateca also crafts limited releases such as Honoro Vera and Atteca Armas, each highlighting different microclimates and vineyard parcels within Aragón’s diverse landscape.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
