Trial analysis
Deep cherry red colour. Expressive and seductive on the nose. A totally different style from the other wines of this estate.
An elegant, refined wine with hints of cherry revealing a lot of freshness and minerality (due to the limestone soils), with a toasted touch on the finish.
This elegance is all the more surprising as it comes from the most southern of Catalonia's denominations.
