Key Characteristics and Tasting Notes
Grape Variety: 100% Lledoner Pelut (a rare Catalan mutation of Grenache).
Alcohol Content: 11% ABV.
Nose: Offers delicate red fruit aromas of fresh strawberry and raspberry, complemented by floral notes and a subtle Mediterranean spiciness, such as dried thyme and sage.
Palate: Described as light-bodied and juicy with fluid freshness and integrated, silky tannins. It has a precise, linear acidity and a mineral backbone, with notes of red fruits and a slight bitterness on the finish reminiscent of almond skin or grapefruit zest.
Food Pairing: Recommended pairings include roasted meats, grilled vegetables, and Mediterranean cuisine. It is often best enjoyed slightly chilled.
