Josep Grau Volador Tinto 2022

Montsant, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainJosep 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, and 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 easily lifted acidity and long, finely buzzy tannins. A very pure and pretty expression of place and grapes.Tasted: 14 November 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
