Las Rocas Spanish Red
Old-vine Garnacha from the rocky hills of Calatayud.
The story behind Las Rocas
Las Rocas comes from the Calatayud region of Aragón, Spain, where vineyards climb 2,500 to 3,500 feet. The name means "the rocks," a nod to the limestone and red clay that force vine roots deep. Bodegas San Alejandro, the cooperative behind the label, was founded in 1962 in Miedes. In 2001, importer Eric Solomon and winemaker Jean-Marc Lafage created Las Rocas as a custom cuvée; it reached the US in 2003.
Today the brand is known for old-vine Garnacha, dry-farmed and bush-trained, with vines 30 to 100 years old. The wines see cold soak and partial oak aging, yielding bold fruit and structure. We've carried Las Rocas for years because it delivers serious Spanish character at a fair price.
