Solpost Origen - 2018

Pestanyes

Description

Right from when we started making this wine, we have wanted Solpost, our first wine, to be a true expression of our vineyards, the soil and the surrounding natural environment. It also shows our Garnatxa (Grenache) and Carinyena (Carignan) beautifully. It is refreshing and balanced and yet it also represents the respect, honesty and gratitude we have for the land where we live.

Garnatxa Negra makes up the lion’s share of this wine, which has been aged for twelve months in French and American oak barrels. The result is a round and complex wine which combines silkiness with structure. It is our classic wine par excellence, having received numerous accolades from critics for both its minerality and long finish.

Tasting notes: Solpost has a lively color. The fruit comes forward on the nose together with some spicy notes, all accompanied by a pleasant freshness.
