Drinking Window: 2019 - 2023
From the first harvest for which this variety is approved in Penedès, and grown near the town of Querol itself, Moneu is redder and lighter in colour than Pirene, with sweeter, more fragrant scents. On the palate it’s a pungent, fresh, crunchy red wine, seemingly very ‘northern’ in style, with blackcurrant or redcurrant fruits. Scored 89-91.
