La Nit de les Garnatxes

Cherry intense color. Cassis, bramble and plummy nose. On the palate, this Garnacha shows the variety’s characterful dark fruits and mineral traits, with notes of grafite, wet pebbles and flavours of sweet spices. Tannins are present, yet ripe and polished on a full body, textured structure. Balsamic, fresh and herbal long finish.

Vinous by Antonio Galloni 2024:

• La Nit de les Garnatxes Slate 2023: 92 points. “Aged for six months in used oak barrels, this wine has notes of orange peel and herbs. Indulgent and compact on the palate, it offers a fine, talc-like texture that lingers through the finish. As Garnatxa is highly reflective of soil, this wine showcases how slate imparts a structured, solid palate”.
  

WineSpectator 2024:

• La Nit de les Garnatxes Slate 2023: 90 points. “A bright and juicy red, boasting wild strawberry, mulberry and pomegranate fruit flavors underscored by spice, stone and floral accents. Well-balanced, with a touch of plushness to the texture and snappy tannins on the finish. Hard to stop sipping. Garnatxa”.
