| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nGarnacha de Fuego is a young, primary fruit expression of the oldest clones of Garnacha in the world, from the high altitude mountains of Calatayud. The altitudes, age of the vines, and slate dominant soils produce a wine of tremendous character and concentration, balanced by fresh acidity that provides balance and drinkability, and elegant minerality.\r\n\r\nGrupo\u00a0Jorge Ordo\u0301n\u0303ez\r\nFounded in 2004, Grupo Jorge Ordo\u0301n\u0303ez is select group of eight wineries that produce wines from grapes grown in thirteen different denominations of origin across Spain. All of the wineries are owned and operated by Jorge Ordo\u0301n\u0303ez. Nacho A\u0301lvarez is the Technical Director and Head Winemaker for the Grupo. The philosophy of this project is the production of artisan wines from the oldest vineyards of Spain\u2019s indigenous grapes. All of the vineyards are head-trained, dry farmed, and cared for with the most traditional means of viticulture. The wines are the ultimate representation of fine wine from the oldest clones of indigenous Spanish grape varieties.\r\n\r\nOur\u00a0Philosophy\r\n\r\nSince 1987, Jorge Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez\u2019s personal crusade has been to seek out and preserve Spain\u2019s rich history of grape growing and winemaking. As Earth\u2019s largest grape growing region, Spain has been tending vines and producing wine for several millennia. Jorge\u2019s goal is to champion and preserve his homeland\u2019s wealth of indigenous grape varieties. His philosophy is centered on the belief that Spain\u2019s potential lies in its bounty of ancient vineyard sites planted with the oldest clones of indigenous cultivars. Unfortunately, the current trend in Spain is the replantation of the country\u2019s oldest vineyard sites with higher yielding clones and international varieties, on trellises. Jorge Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez Selections \ufb01ghts this trend by representing producers that embody our philosophy: what makes Spain unique is an extensive history of viticulture and enology, and a wealth of extremely old vineyards of indigenous varieties.\r\nEvery aspect of our business is focused on maintaining the integrity of these unique vines and varieties. By working exclusively with artisan producers who employ non-interventional, authentic methods of grape growing and winemaking, we produce and represent honest wines with a sense of history, culture, and place.\r\nWe were the \ufb01rst Spanish wine broker in the United States to control every point of the shipping environment in order to protect the integrity of our wines. We insist on 100% refrigerated shipping from our wineries to the consolidation point in Bilbao, and we require refrigerated reefer shipping containers to our warm climate customers year round. Cool climate customers are required to ship reefer between March and November. We require that all of our distributors have temperature controlled warehouses.\r\nQuality is our \ufb01rst priority, even when it may put us at a \ufb01nancial disadvantage. We maintain strict controls not only at the blending stage but through all steps in the winemaking process. These controls are expected of all of our producers, even those with whom we have no ownership stake. We spend several hundred thousand dollars a year on analysis by ETS Laboratories. Also, Jorge and his team have proven to be some of the best wine blenders in the business. Many of their cuv\u00e9es have become internationally recognized benchmarks for their region and varietal.\r\nAfter decades of hard work, we are now realizing the fruits of our labor. The international market for Spanish wine and gastronomy has grown considerably, and continues to do so. Early successes with entry level brands have made Spain the go-to region for value oriented wine. The next phase in our growth is to demonstrate to the market that all of our wines represent signi\ufb01cant quality, regardless of the price point, and that Spanish wines deserve a place amongst the world\u2019s best. |
