Vineyards: The grapes were picked in extremely small, selected parcels, from high density vines    in Los Lingues,    coming from rocky slopes, where the roots absorb the    minerality and    freshness    of this volcanic basaltic soils from the    the unique Cerro Basalto block. The vineyards are    in the North East part of    our mountains, and    soils    have a high concentration of iron who develope an elegant    and    rare    expression of this blend.
Vinification: Plantation going from 8.000 to 12.500 vines per hectare, with almost no irrigation, to express their    origins as    much as possible. At    optimum    ripeness, the grapes are handpicked and brought    to the cellar for    sorting. Vinification    is conducted in small tanks to get    the    best extraction of aromas, flavors and silky tannins, and aging are conducted in concrete eggs and foudres.
No filtration.
Terroir: Well-drained soils have a clay texture with volcanic rocks and colluvial stones that deliver unique minerals giving the right balance to this wine. Both are key factors of optimal terroir for the production of high quality red wines.
Training system: Double Guyot.
Tasting Notes: For a five-year-old wine, this has a lot of life. Bright redcurrants and plums with delicate notes of terracotta and spice. This has a very healthy tannin structure that keeps the wine moving and gives it a long, clean finish. A blend of 37 per cent mourvèdre, 35 per cent grenache, 23 per cent carignan and five per cent syrah. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certified. Drink or hold.
James Suckling (vintage 2016)

Aromatic,    with    rose, strawberry, raspberry and wild cherry flavors join all togheter, with hints of bay leaf, cinnamon    and roasted tobacco    in the background. Silky,    yet with a solid structure    supporting the flavors, show fine length and    leave a mouthwatering impression, with    a soft bitterness in the final who reveal is volcanic    origin.
