Clos Lentiscus Wow Wow 2018
Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainFrom the biodynamic and biodiverse world of Penedès' Clos Lentiscus, in Catalonia, this natural / organic / biodynamic syrah comes from 41 year old vines in Coster de la Francesa vineyard. After a native ferment in stainless with 21 days on skins, this remained there until bottling the following spring, with no additions or deletions. This pale, lighter red shows the grape's characteristic black pepper, met with tart cranberry, wild flowers, green cherry, and ample crunchy acidity. Tannins are negligible, and this finishes with a gentle swell of heat. Certainly natural and pure, and best with a chill and plate of charcuterie. The 1L format encourages cracking with friends.Tasted: 10 January 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $44.95 | 1000ml | consignment |
