Tasting notes
Dark, bright-rimmed ruby. Powerful, deep-pitched dark berry and cherry preserve, licorice and violet scents are sharpened by a smoky mineral note and a spicy suggestion of cracked pepper. Stains the palate with concentrated black and blue fruit, floral pastille, espresso and bitter chocolate flavors that become livelier as the wine stretches out. In a muscular and energetic style, finishing with strong, mineral- and floral-driven persistence and building tannins that add framework and closing grip.

The red 2018 Camí Pesseroles was named after the vineyard where the Garnacha and Cariñena grapes come from, a plot co-planted in 1939. The whole clusters were foot trodden and then fermented in two open-top 500-liter chestnut wood barrels and an oak vat with indigenous yeasts for almost three weeks. The wine was pressed and matured in 650-liter chestnut and acacia, cherry and oak wood barrels. The wine is only 13.5% alcohol and in this cool vintage has retained very good freshness. It has the elegant and fresh style of all these reds; the wines are precise, aromatic and open. This is surprisingly elegant for Cariñena, a grape that almost always has a rustic touch. 2,132 bottles and some larger formats were filled in June 2020.
