Josep Grau La Florens, Montsant – 2021

Josep Grau considers the 2021 vintage to be the best he has ever produced! This wine is made from 100% Garnacha grapes from 75-100 year old vines. It has wonderfully pure aromas of red fruits and flowers – raspberries, roses and violets. The palate is fresh, with spicy acidity and a bite of minerality on the finish from the very old vines. There is no hint of oak, just pure raspberry and blood orange fruit flavours combined with gentle violet notes. The wine is perfectly balanced with gentle tannins and a long length. For a wine from a hot region, it really has great finesse, subtlety and personality.

Drink with roasted red meats, game, stews, Iberian ham, pasta with meat sauces or sheep’s cheese.
