A village wine made with grapes of old vines (local varieties only). And also an ethical wine made thanks to a crowdfunding in favour of the local winegrowers. Full of character. One of its kind.
Vinification
A non-interventionist wine, like all wines at Bodegas Gratias.
The Tardena grapes ferment between 3 and 4 weeks in whole bunches, without any remontage (pumping over) or pressing, then the wine is aged for 3 months in jars (dolia). The other grapes including Macabeu are pressed, without skin contact, and aged for 3 months in used oak barrels.
Then all the components of the cuvée are blended. No added sulphur.
Storage potential
Ready to drink now, but can wait till 2023.
To serve
Serve chilled.
Trial analysis
Complex on the nose - spicy, floral but also full of white fruit. A lot of character and some density too. Fresh but deep on the palate, and quite long. Surprising!
