A wine from another planet! Until now, this Gran Buig has only been made in 1998 and 2004. And why is that? You have to taste it to believe it. This is the quintessence of the estate's old Grenache and Carignan vines (400 gr/cep)! Without doubt the best blend of these two grape varieties in the world. Absolutely superb! Very limited production!
Vinification
60% grenache and 40% carinyena form an exceptional blend from the Collet (grenache) and Barceló (carinyena) plots, with an average vine age of 70 years.
Fermentation and ageing take place over 14 months in small barriques, 30% of which are new oak.
Minimum bottle ageing of 24 months after bottling.
A wine with remarkable ageing potential, thanks to the perfect balance in this vintage between volume and freshness (acidity).

Trial analysis
Inky colour. The nose is a perfect blend of Mediterranean herbs (Carignan) and the cherries of a superb Grenache. A youthful-looking wine, bursting with fruit. Perfectly integrated oak. Delicious on the palate! A sublime blend of the two grape varieties, reaching perfection. A great wine.
