Buy Wine with Garnatxa Peluda
Garnacha Peluda has medium budding and ripening. The undersides of the leaves present fine hair and the berries have thick skin and good acidity. It is a vigorous variety (less vigorous if planted in sandy soils) and is likely to suffer mite, excoriosis, botrytis cinerea, ring rot or bacterial blight and grapevine moth. Garnacha Peluda is appropriate for slightly acid soils, with gravel and rich in limestone. Short and gobelet pruning is recommended. It has good resistance to drought but tends to suffer lack of magnesium. On the other hand, Garnacha Peluda endures well wood diseases as Stereum hirsutum (Esca) and Eutypa lata (Dead arm), which explains in great part the unusual vine longevity.
Garnacha Peluda grapes can reach phenol ripeness more easily (with less sugar concentration) than Garnacha, so its alcohol content is lower. Both its leaves and berries are covered with fine hair that enables grapevine to transpire even at high temperatures, keeping humidity and reducing the stress. Moreover it is resistant to strong winds so it can survive in even the windiest places. Garnacha Peluda wines tend to have high acidity levels and when aged they develop spicy aromas and saline tastes.
In France this Garnacha variety was singled out, but if both varieties are blended, the wines obtained are pretty good. Garnacha Peluda is an authorised variety in the appellations Corbières, Languedoc, Côtes du Roussillon, Faugères, Minervois and Saint-Chinan.
In Spain, it is mainly cultivated in Castilla La Mancha, Aragón, Cataluña and Castilla y León. Usually Garnacha Peluda is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon or Tempranillo to obtain reserve wines. Garnacha Peluda light wines are prone to oxidation so it is suggested its intake while they are young.
