Cork

Deep, intense Carignan hailing from 60- to 80-year-old vines, grown on sandy and gravel soils, from Perelada's La Garriga estate. Mindful use of oak frames the fruit's inherent structure without claiming centre stage. Nuanced nose of cherry, cranberry and plum, cloaked in dried wild flowers, with pepper, cardamom and nutmeg sprinkled abundantly. Lovely, intriguing tension on the palate, with the fleshy fruit core and muscular tannins balanced by lively acid and a zesty rim. Long finish with lingering spice and smokiness.
