Josep Grau Volador Tinto 2023

Josep Grau oversees 26ha of organic vineyards in Priorat and Montsant, at varying elevations and degrees of llicorella (slate), chalky clay, and decomposed granite. This Tinto is 60-70% Garnacha Tinta, 30% Cariñena, 10% Syrah from calcareous clays, native fermented and aged in concrete tanks for 6 months.

Scrubby herbs and broken stones imbue black raspberry, wild cherry, perfumed dark plum, and cracked pepper, with an easy lifted acidity, and long, finely buzzy tannins. A very pure and pretty expression of place and grapes.
