Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine La Florens is mediun purple with some violet glints. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This enticing old-vines Grenache exhibits remarkably pure aromas of raspberries, Amarena cherries, scrubland and Mediterranean herbs, with hints of lilacs and violets and a fleck of pencil lead over a mineral background. Impressively complex and refined. |
| Palate | Freshness and precision are the key features of this wine from Josep Grau Viticultor. Pristine notes of wild berries, intense mineral undertones, remembrances of blue flowers and lavender and some balsamic and metallic hints. Lively tannins and a long, complex finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Fresh, site-specific and refined, the wine La Florens 2022 goes far beyond the cliché of what a Mediterranean wine is supposed to be. |

super grenach
Right now, I consider this wine to be on a par with some first-class Grenaches from Chateneuf du Pape. If Florens ages well, it will become a truly great wine.

As an old fan of Montsant reds, I think this is maybe the BEST wine to come out of the region since Espectacle. Mr. Josep Grau has something very nice here, and if he continues to refine his winemaking approach the result will be a killer wine.
