Vineyard
15-75 years old, ecologically certified, bio-dynamically farmed and regenerative vineyards in the parcels of Era, Planes, Obagues and Palell. Owned and operated by meticulous farmers to the point of picking out every raisin out of every cluster, pre-harvest, to ensure freshness. Joan Asens is devoted to the biodynamic calendar, as well as using natural applications that withhold those strict standards.
Vinification
70% destemmed, 30% whole cluster, native fermentation in inox for 29 days (biodynamic calendar). The wine is then racked into another stainless tank for brief 2-3 months on the lees before going into neutral French oak for and additional 3 months. Nothing is added to the wine except SO2 at bottling.

Tasting Note
A bright and savory Garnatxa with a juicy pop of bright cherry and other fresh red fruits. Medium bodied with good acidity and structure, the fresh herbs and black peppercorn, keep it lively and wonderfully paired with food. Roses and potpourri with bursts of fresh Mediterranean herbs, framboise and cocoa fill the senses.
