About

Red wine

Grape variety: Garnacha

Varietal and vintage certified by ECCV

Altitude: 750 m

Soil: clay-limestone

Bush vines, dry farmed vineyards, harvested by hand. Grapes come from a 0.5 hectare plot at high altitude in the Mediterranean arch.

Sustainable viticulture

13% vol.

Winemaking: cold maceration of unpressed whole grapes with a little stem in stainless steel tanks. End of fermentation in raw concrete tanks. Malolactic fermentation during the brief successive passages of the wine in barrels with different characteristics (age, capacity, grain), allowing a natural micro-oxygenation that reinforces its powerful, fruity aroma, but not masking it with too much wood.

Tasting notes: very attractive ripe cherry colour, with ruby iridescence.

An elegant freshness on the nose, which honestly expresses the typicality of the grape variety, with a subtle mineral touch.

The palate is above all light, juicy and deep. Pleasant finish thanks to its good balance with a touch of acidity.
