Product Description
Details
The varietal Grenache Maimó is a single vineyard Spanish red wine produced from organically grown vines located in Serra d'Almos, south of the DO Montsant.
The 35 to 40-year-old plants are planted in clayey soils and have very low yields - only 3,000-4,000 kilograms per hectare.
Produced by the intellectually inquisitive Josep Grau Viticultor, this red wine from Montsant was meticulously vinified following minimal intervention techniques.
After a triple selection process, the Grenache grapes were fermented in truncated cone-shaped vats, and then aged for 14 months in a 2,000-litre Stockinger Austrian oak vat.
Finally, Maimó 2018 was not clarified or filtered before being bottled.
Decant this Crianza red wine 1 hour before drinking.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Maimó has an intense ruby colour. This red wine from Montsant has a medium-high robe, clean and bright. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This exquisite varietal Grenache is nuanced and intriguing. Jammy red fruit, some intimations of red and blue flowers, an eco of citrus, and tips of aromatic herbs over a thin mineral layer. |
| Palate | On the palate, this single vineyard red wine from Josep Grau Viticultor is less fruit-driven than on the nose. The Mediterranean surroundings take prominence: rosemary, tarragon, laurel and many more, combined with dim spicy notes and, finally, remembrances of raspberries and redcurrants. Smooth-textured and very gentle, with round tannins and a good acidity. Long, gently mineral finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Elegant, sort of understated, even a bit elusive, Maimó 2018 is an uncommon, highly interesting red wine from Montsant. |

The mineral notes are starkingly elegant. A first-class red wine.
