Solpost Fresc - 2010

Pestanyes

Description

Solpost Fresc is like a stroll along the “marges” or handmade stone wall terraces of Mas d’en Rafel, with Garnatxa (Grenache) as our guide. We select different vineyard plots to make this wine which result in an intensely aromatic wine which is rich and complex and at the same time pleasant and capable of winning over most palates.

With 80% of Garnatxa Negra (Red Grenache), Solpost Fresc is an aged wine which spends just six months in third and fourth fill barrels. We obtain a cherry coloured wine which is well structured, giving aromas of red fruit, spices and anise. It is another way of enjoying our terroir.
