Production notes

Vineyards belonging to Espelt in the DO Empordà. Soils of decomposed glacial granite on the side of the Alberes mountain range. Each parcel was vinified separately. Cold soak for 36 hours. Both the Carignan and the Grenache were fermented at 25ºC with a maximum allowed temperature of 30ºC. Aging on the lees for 4 months. Light filtration prior to bottling.

Tasting notes

Ruby in color with high density. On the nose, notes of dark fruits are quite evident above a base of spices and violet aromas. On the palate it's quite soft and velvety. With aeration, red fruits such as cranberry appear as well as spicy nutmeg. It's a subtle wine with a long, persistent finish that's easy to drink.
