Javi Revert is particularly proud of the Simeta cuvée. It is his flagship wine in red.
This wine is made on a small parcel of Arcos grape - a varietal he has saved.
This vine was planted in the 1970's on the flanks of the the Penya Foradà, at Tossa de l'Agel (650m above sea-level), on sandy soils.
This is Javi's most Mediterranean wine, taking advantage of the warmth of long summer days which suits this variety.
Only 1007 bottles of this wine were produced.
Vinification
The grapes were harvested mid-September, in small baskets.
Most of the bunches were fermented whole in jars (dolia), without any added yeasts. The wines stayed there for 8 months, before being transferred into demijohns for two months.

Trial analysis
The nice structure of a Mediterranean style wine; fresh, fruity and spicy on the nose, with some undergrowth notes, very juicy on the palate, with a mineral backbone.
A very elegant wine, full of the personality of its terroir and of its maker.
