from Terra Alta, Catalonia, Spain
A delightful red granache based wine with a light touch of wild yeast fermentation to give a twist. If you like Chateneau-du-Pape, you might like this too. The combination of innovative wine making with dry farming, low yields and low sulphites provides a wine that is familiar yet different.
Profile:
A pleasant, red fruit driven nose (red cherry), with a nicely floral and spicy
character as well. A lovely smooth, almost silky texture characterizes the
palate due to intense fruit concentration, mid weight soft tannins and a
warming but not 14,5 % alcohol. Quite delicious! Medium length, perfectly
drinkable and enjoyable as it is now.
