You needn’t have made a pilgrimage to all the holy sites of the natural wine world, in order to enjoy this wine, but a quick flick through ‘A Rough Guide to Hipster Wine’ wouldn’t go amiss, because this does have a toe in ‘natural’ waters. It’s a tiny bit cloudy, there’s a little dissolved CO2, but it’s not turbid, so you shouldn’t need to clutch your pearls, unless you only drink Chilean Merlot. It’s pale and very interesting, with rosehip and red cherry notes as well as hints of wispy campfire embers and smoked paprika powder. You may wonder what it is made from. Well it’s made from Ull de Perdiu, Sumoll, Qeixal del Llop, Cariñena, Garnacha, Garrut and Trepat. You may still be wondering. 11.5% alc. Drink now-2026.
