The red wine Finca L'Argatà has gained a cult following over the years.
This remarkable Spanish red wine is produced by Joan d’Anguera, a winery that completely redefined its approach to winemaking about a decade ago, becoming the first company in Montsant to obtain a Demeter seal that certifies its commitment to the principles of biodynamic agriculture
The grapes are sourced from 30 to 50-year-old vines planted in an exceptional 20-hectare vineyard with sand and limestone soils and located near the village of Darmós, in the highest area of the DO Montsant, a beautiful Mediterranean spot where vines coexist with aromatic plants, almond trees and centenary olive trees.
The grapes were vinified with wild yeasts in concrete vats. Then this red wine from Montsant was aged in 10 to 15-year-old used French oak barrels for 16 months.
Naturally stabilized during the winter season, the wine Finca L'Argatà 2022 was bottled and aged for no less than 12 months before its commercial release.
Aearte this Crianza red wine at least 1 hour before drinking.
| Appearance | The red wine Finca L'Argatà is medium ruby with a violet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Grenache exhibits a subtle, luminous minerality that, though not as thriving as that which characterizes the wines from neighbouring Priorat, is more elegant and evocative. Amazingly pure aromas of raspberries, sour cherries and forest berries, with hints of red flowers, herbs de Provence and menthol. |
| Palate | This varietal biodynamic red wine of the Joan d'Anguera winery is medium-bodied, linear and richly layered, with a steely acidity, a garrigue remembrance worthy of the finest Châteneuf, an endearing floral character and a marvelous limestone-y minerality. |
| Our personal opinion | A thing of beauty, the wine Finca L'Argatà 2022 is one of the best Montsant reds on the market, on a par with the finest southern Rhône Grenaches. |
