Additional Information
Appearance

The red wine Nas del Gegant is medium ruby with a garnet rim.

Nose

This blend of Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Carignan and Merlot opens a bit tight. After some aeration, it brings aromas of red berries, withered flowers, Mediterranean undergrowth, white pepper, dried flowers and balsam.

Palate

This red wine of the Escoda-Sanahuja winery is lively and expansive, with fresh nuances of red berries, alongside notes of vegetables, spices, blue flowers and underbrush. This low sulfur red wine has ripe tannins, a tapering acidity and a pleasant, medium-long finish.

Our personal opinion

The raw immediacy of the red wine Nas del Gegant 2022 is quite appealing.

An acquired taste which I, for one, have acquired. Decant and shake vigorously to clear the space. Then the wine will drink wonderfully.

Winery has really improved over the years. It is biodynamic, but not stinky. Quite good.
