Profile
Despite a very long history, they’re not afraid to innovate, even if innovation means hand-harvesting bush vines! This wine is a 50-50 blend of syrah and monastrell, grown at over 600 metres the limestone-rich soils of their respective single vineyards. The monastrell was concrete-matured before seeing a touch of oak, while the syrah went straight into oak for 12 months. Because of this, they’ve struck a charming balance between ripeness and savouriness. The blend gives a variety of red and black fruit to the palate, with abundant spice and an earthy undertone. It’s a thoughtful wine, and bloody delicious.
