Origin: DO Penedès, Massís del Garraf, Catalonia

Vineyard: Plots in the Massís del Garraf, part of the heroic Montombra project. Organically farmed with entirely hand-picked vineyards on steep slopes. The vines grow in a spectacular karst landscape with extremely calcareous, shallow soils.

Soils: Calcareous clay soils on dolomite limestone with fossil inclusions and a high proportion of active limestone – typical of the karst profile of the Garraf Mountains.

Orientation: Not specified

Climate: Mediterranean with hot days and cool nights; 2021 was characterized by moderate temperatures and good water supply, resulting in expressive, fresh, and structured wines.

Vinification: Two days of cold maceration without stalks, spontaneous fermentation at controlled temperature, malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aging for 16 months in new, extra-fine-grain French barriques.

Maturation: 16 months in French oak

Alcohol content: 13% vol.

Tasting Note: Deep, clear dark red. On the nose, intense floral notes of violets combine with black fruit and subtle roasted aromas of coffee and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is concentrated, with juicy flavors of blackberry and cherry, lively acidity, and firm, fine-grained tannins. The finish is long, dense, and elegant.

Food pairing: Perfect with braised lamb, game, hearty stews and mature cheeses.
