Cariñena and Syrah from steep limestone terraces: dense, with violet, firm acidity and firm tannins.
Red wine · Cariñena, Syrah · Penedès, Spain · 0.75 L
Vintage: 2021
Grape varieties: Cariñena, Syrah
Production: Exclusive edition, 835 bottles
Origin: D.O. Penedès, Massís del Garraf, Catalonia
Vineyard: Plots in the Massís del Garraf, part of the heroic Montombra project. Farmed organically and picked entirely by hand on steep slopes. The vines grow in a spectacular karst landscape with extremely chalky, shallow soils.
Soils: Calcareous clay soils over dolomitic limestone, with fossil inclusions and a high share of active lime, typical of the karst profile of the Garraf massif.
Climate: Mediterranean, with hot days and cool nights. 2021 was very dry, and the vines drew on the water reserves in the soil.
Vinification: Carignan and Syrah macerate and ferment together for 12 days in open stainless steel tanks, with light punching down and one gentle pump-over a day. Malolactic fermentation also takes place there, followed by 16 months in 500-litre French oak barrels.
Ageing: 16 months in 500-litre French oak barrels
Alcohol: 12.6% vol.
Tasting note: Deep, clear dark red. On the nose, intense floral notes of violet, combined with black fruit and subtle roasted hints of coffee and cocoa. On the palate the wine is concentrated, with juicy 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 aged cheese.

The winery
Only around 50 of this finca's 455 hectares in the Garraf Massif are planted with vines. The rest is forest, scrub and rock. Jordi Esteve carries on what Carlos Esteva started in the 1970s.

Carlos Esteva began turning the estate into a winery in the 1970s and tried out many grape varieties along the way. After his death in 2023, Jordi Esteve, a long-time companion, took over the management. He keeps the same line: organic farming, hand picking, spontaneous fermentation and every plot vinified on its own.
