From a vineyard planted in 1858 which makes it one of the oldest. A top Grenache in the modern reserved style. Aromas focused on red fruits including cherry, raspberries as well as a touch of sweet spice. Lovely soft velvet wine which just makes it into medium bodied. Fine grain tannins, elegant and well balance with a textured, slightly warm, finish. 3% Mataro and 2% shiraz in the mix as well. A truly lovely wine showing how great Grenache can be.

Ratings Key:
Outstanding (Score range 95-100)
Often an internationally recognised, leading brand or winery – but not always! Produces a classic wine that is a faultless representation of the style/variety. Complexity on the nose and a seamless palate are an example of the hallmarks of an outstanding wine.
Highly Recommended (Score range 92-94)
A quality focused wine that has plenty of style. Length of palate and intensity are often key characteristics of highly recommended wines. These producers could be the ones to watch in the future.
Recommended (Score range 89-91)
An above average well-made, reflection of the style/variety, which often represents good value for money.
