I think the first wine I tried from Spain from the fateful 2020 is the 2020 Artazuri Garnacha Rosado. It was produced with the grapes from the younger vines in the villages of Artazu and San Martín de Unx and was planted with a massal selection of each village, and it fermented at low temperature to keep the floral and fruit aromas. It has moderate alcohol with good freshness, making it easy to drink, aromatic and primary. They harvested early in a year that was wet and warm and with fungal diseases (especially mildew), so it's a bit of an irregular vintage. This year, they tried to obtain a paler wine with less maceration, more floral and with a little more acidity with some citrus hints. It has medium structure and volume, but it has gained in drinkability. This is also sold in cans under the brand Ah-So. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2020.
