This Spanish red blend, made from organic Garnacha and Syrah grapes, is grown on the steep hills of one of Europe’s highest altitude vineyards, which inspired Picasso and numerous other artists and in 2013 became an Unesco Biosphere Reserve. The old Grenache vines, mostly handpicked and up to 60 years old, are the unsung heroes of the region, responsible of some of the worlds most celebrated reds. Giving this rich, medium to full bodied wine its unique and artistic character. Vegan friendly.

I really enjoyed this wine while staying in the cottage at the countryside. The taste is wonderful and flavours are coming one by one.
