Red Wine Olivardots Gresa Expressió 2018

Produced by Vinyes d'Olivardots, the wine Gresa Expressió is made from 4 varieties planted in different types of soils in DO Empordà, a fact that results in a noteworthy complexity.

The main component is Carignan (46%), coming from old, low-yielding vines grown in slate soils, plus a 32% Grenache, a 15% Syrah and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced  from vineyards with sandy and granitic soils, known as gresa in Empordà. All of them are certified organic.

The grapes were picked by hand and selected twice. Once in the cellar, they were cold-macerated and then fermented in stainless steel tanks and French oak vats. After that, this Reserva red wine was gently pressed, drawn-off and aged for 14 months in fine-grained French oak barrels with periodic stirrings.

This red wine from L'Empordà was not clarified or filtered before being bottled on June 16th, 2020.

A remarkable feature of the wine Gresa Expressió 2018 is that it is sold after having been aged for 5 years in the bottle, so as to offer the customer a well-rounded wine with no rough edges.

7,300 bottles produced.

Decant this vegan and organic red wine a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.
