TERRANOBLE DISIDENTE CARIGNAN, MOUVEDRE, GARNACHA

TASTING NOTE   

Intense and deep violet-red color, its red fruits stand out with aromas of sour cherries, cherries and fresh raspberries that mingle with particular herbal notes of thyme and other cooking herbs as well as mineral accents. On the palate, the wine feels refreshing, juicy and complex, with a great structure and volume. It is a tasty explosion of long lasting and mouth-watering favours. It offers very fine and elegant tannins. A wine with a tremendous sense of place.

VITICULTURE

Carignan and Mourvèdre are the result of a long-term relationship with a producer from Melozal. We aim to maintain the traditions that have been passed on from generation to generation without intervening in the way how those very old vines are managed (the Carignan vineyard was planted in 1958). Grenache, on the other hand, grows trellised to the vertical shoot position in our

HARVEST AND VINIFICATION

Grenache was picked by hand on March 5, Carignan on March 6, and Mourvèdre on April 25. Then the grapes were taken to the winery, where they were destemmed and placed in open-top wooden tanks and clay vessels for a cold maceration of five to six days. The alcoholic fermentation took place between 23 and 25º C., with soft extractions, and lasted between 8 and 12 days. After that, the wine was subject to a post-fermentative maceration that lasted between one and two weeks, depending on the different batches (in the clay vessels, maceration lasted 3 months). The wines were fermented with native yeasts.
