2021 MAISON ALBERA Grenache Noir Absolu

Appellation: PGI CÔTES CATALANES

Grape Variety: 100% Grenache noir

Terroir: granitic arenas and quartz altitude plateau (1700 feet elevation) overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the Roussillon amphitheater. The eroded granite and quartz soils, called "Arènes", are poor, draining, and bring an important aromatic and phenolic concentration to the wine.

The Mediterranean Sea provides thermoregulation to its North exposed terroirs.

Yield:  45 hl / ha

Alcohol: 14.5%

Winemaking: Fermented in concrete vats. 20 days maceration with soft extraction.

Aging: 20 months in concrete vats

Notes: Gourmand, unctuous and deep. An exceptional terroir giving the purest expression of Roussillon Grenaches. Intense red and black fruits, notes of wild flowers and cocoa, thyme and peppermint.
