GRENACHE<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The most intense red<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grenache and Carignan red grape varieties have been grown in the Priorat since time immemorial. The grapes extract water and minerals from clay, slate and pebble soils to offer a symphony of red colors and deep aromas that express the essence of these soils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MANOU RED WINE \u2013 GRENACHE AND CARIGNAN BLEND<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wine with great freshness obtained from Grenache Noir and Carignan from vineyards in the north of Montsant. The blend of Grenache and Carignan allows for an excellent balance between the acidity and perfume of Carignan and the sweetness and spicy notes of Grenache. The harvest for red varieties takes place at the end of September and beginning of October. Fermentation with the native yeasts of the grapes of each vineyard takes between four and six weeks until the sugars of the grapes are fully consumed. Aging in its lees for 6 months and in barrels for 3 months allow to achieve an excellent balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deep purple wine with medium violet reflections. The nose dominates above all notes of fruit, black and red acid fruits such as raspberry and cherries. In the background, there are also the spicy notes of Grenache with touches of Mediterranean herbs. Once opened, notes of minerals and licorice appear. Grenache brings subtle and slightly more mature notes of fruits, cherry and plum and Carignan red fruits and flowers. The short ageing in barrels is very well integrated and evolves over time in the glass. Wine with marked personality and with arms wide open to share. A bold and exuberant wine, eager to express and make itself known and above all to be enjoyed. It\u2019s a young wine with a strong aromatic presence and a lot of complexity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SIURANA NEGRE \u2013 GUARDA WINE FROM MONTSANT NORTH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The balance between the acidity and red fruits of the Carignan and the spices and sweetness of the Grenache stands out in this red wine, which is a paradigm of the wine of the north Priorat and Montsant. Aging for 12 months in oak barrels gives the wine a perfect balance. There are aromas of ripe and sweet strawberry, and a mixture of dry herbal notes with a touch of caramel, which contribute to the complexity and freshness. In the background there are balsamic and spicy notes with memories of an undergrowth in a Mediterranean climate attributed to a good maturation of Grenache and reminiscent of dried fruits and honey. Wine with several types of alcohol molecules, soft and very expressive. Wine with a journey through the entire mouth, a fair and balanced structure. The aromas explode and toasty sensations appear.<\/p>\n<\/div>

ARGENTERA AND VINYES VELLES \u00b7 ESSENCE OF MONTSANT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 50-year-old and centenarian vines have very deep roots that have defied droughts and nutrient-poor soils. The struggle to survive and extract minerals and molecules from the subsoil makes the old vines keepers of the particularities of the Priorat terroir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Argentera Grenache L\u2019Ess\u00e8ncia and Vinyes Velles Grenache \u00b7 714, show the characteristics of Grenache matured slowly and aged in oak barrels. The wine is rounded and velvety of ripe red fruits, in a way that offers the best notes of the sweetness of Grenache and its Mediterranean herbs, like rosemary and thyme, abundant in the Montsant Nord terroir. Wine that denotes the forest herbs of the northern Priorat valley. Notes of sweet and toasted fruits with a certain caramelized mint accent. Very expressive wine that reflects the landscape and terroir with a marked minerality. Wine with an unctuous journey throughout the mouth, and a balanced and deep structure. At the end of the mouth, all the aromas explode and toasted, and spicy sensations appear. Elegant and warm wine, aged in the north of the Priorat.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
