`Roca del Crit` Empordà Cariñena Garnacha 2018

This is a blend of 86% Carignan and 14% Grenache. The Carignan is sourced from the Rabós area of Empordà, Cataluña. Facing the mountains, this area is known for 'the tramuntana' a strong wind which blows from the North and often reaches 120 kilometres per hour. The vines are 86 years old and planted on slate soils, resulting in low yields of concentrated berries with juicy acidity. A wonderfully elegant and versatile wine, this has lifted aromas of red cherry, violet and rosemary.
