Winemaker Notes

Intense deep red color, with outstanding aromas of red fruits, sour cherries, flowers and mineral notes. Very refreshing, complex and well-structured on the palate, its rustic tannins have been tamed by the time spent in old barrels bestowing a better evolution of the tannins.

Pairs well with any type meat, especially lamb because the tannins cut through the fattiness without hiding the flavors of the food. Also a good match with strong cheeses.

I wished for some more varietal character in the 2018 Gran Reserva Carignan, but at least the wine is fresh and balanced with moderate ripeness and alcohol compared with most of its siblings. It has some grainy tannins and a dry finish. It matured in concrete eggs and untoasted foudre for one year.

Spicy, savoury aromas with brighter top notes of redcurrant and cranberry on the nose. The palate is fresh, with crunchy sour cherry fruit, blackberries, herbs and spices and well integrated tannins. A great food wine.
