Ricard Rofes, winemaker at Cellers Scala Dei, has produced an elegant and pure expression of Garnacha from vineyards that have been planted with the variety for at least 350 years. He ferments the wine with stems in concrete tanks with indigenous yeast, then the wine spends a further eight months in concrete, followed by a year in 1,300-litre foudres. A beautiful interpretation of traditional Garnachas of the area. Beth Willard: Oak is quite dominant now, but the wine is driven by impressive acidity. With a stony, flinty core, this continues to open in the glass. All set for a slow and graceful ageing. Valentin Radosav: Elegant red cherries, strawberry and dried rose aromas. Elegant, herbaceous, slightly stony mineral flavours balancing sweet spice tones. Diana Rollan: Nose opens up to dried wild flowers, red berries, herbs and liquorice notes. A savoury finish.
