Product Description
Details

The wine Dosterras Garnatxa is made by bodega Dosterras, the project of Mexican-born Fernando Grajales in DO Montsant.

This varietal Spanish red wine was sourced from vines Grenache around 55 years of age, grown in three vineyards with different soil compositions: Verinxell – clay -; Les Pinyanes – limestone – and Pedrenyeres – slate.

After a manual harvest, the grapes were meticulously sorted and macerated for 6 hours before fermenting in stainless steel tanks. Then the red wine Dosterras Garnatxa 2018 was drawn-off and aged for 6 months in 3rd year French oak barrels.

After bottling, this red wine from Montsant was stored for some years in the cellar before being released onto the market.

We suggest decanting this Crianza red wine before drinking.

Appearance

The red wine Dosterras Garnatxa is deep ruby with a violet edge.

Nose

This old-vines Grenache exhibits a deep, Priorat-like minerality, intertwined with compelling aromas of blue flowers – notably violets - and herbs de Provence underpinning a solid core of ripe forest berries,with so me spicy and balsamic hints.

Palate

Detailed and richly layered, with polished tannins and a lively mid palate. Gently extracted, with a captivating earthy-mineral edge to the ripe cherry fruit. This wine of bodega Dosterras winery has a very long finish reminiscent of flowers, ecualiptus and spices.
