D.O.P. Calatayud lies in the southwest of the province of Zaragoza, in Aragón. It is best known for its old Garnacha vineyards grown at altitude.
The area has very varied terrain, with valleys, foothills and mountain ranges crossed by rivers such as the Jalón and the Jiloca. Poor, stony soils predominate, conditions to which Garnacha is especially well adapted.
Garnacha reds are the most representative wines. The appellation itself describes them as fruity, mineral, flavourful, fleshy and well-structured wines, qualities especially associated with its high-altitude vineyards and old Garnacha plantings.
Whites are also made, usually from Macabeo/Viura, fresh and aromatic, as well as rosés, mainly from Garnacha Tinta, with a marked floral and red-fruit character.
