Carignan, Grenache/Garnacha, Syrah/Shiraz
The vineyards of Garnacha and Cariñena are head trained and dry farmed. The Syrah is planted on trellis. The oldest vineyards were planted in the 1950's. All of the vineyards are sustainably farmed without the use of herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides.
The vineyards are planted at 450M above sea levels in the mountains of Montsant. The Garnacha is planted in licorella slate soils, the Cariñena in calcareous clay soils, and the Syrah in sand.
The grapes are destemmed and ferment in stainless steel vats by vineyard parcel and varietal. Malolactic occurs in used barriques.
The wine is aged for 8 months in used barriques. The blend is assembled once malolactic is completed.
