Grape varieties: 100% Gray Grenache
This wine is continuing the Vd’O collection “Varietals de terrer”. It has been made with selected grapes from the old plot Camí de Mollet planted in 1924, grown on a gravelly/sand soil.
Harvest & vinification process
The grapes are picked by hand and collected into small crates of 10 kg. A period of cold soak in a fridge (at 2-4ºC) followed by skin contact maceration during 12 hours. The wine ferments in 500l French oak barrels at low temperature, remaining in contact with its lees for 8 months.
Tasting notes
Golden pinkish color.
Complex bouquet: pit fruit, apricot, yellow plums, a lot of spices and a hint of earth.
The palate is medium-bodied, very tasty, almost salty, powerful and round.
