Made from vineyards located in Serra d'Almos, south of DO Montsant, Territori belongs to the series of 5 wines produced in that area by the always inquisitive Josep Grau Viticultor.
In a way, this Spanish red wine summarizes the whole collection, as it is made from a blend of the other 4 wines: Maimó, Rogers, Figuerals Garnatxa and Figuerals Samsó.
The final composition of this red wine from Montsant was 80% Grenache and 20% Carignan (Samsó). After an exquisite vinification, Territori 2017 was aged for 14 months in a 2,000-litre Stockinger Austrian oak vat. It was not filtered or clarified before its bottling.
Decant this wine by Josep Grau 30 minutes before drinking. Drink over the next 7 years.
Production of only 3,300 bottles.
Appearance | The red wine Territori Garnatxa Samsó has an intense ruby colour. |
---|---|
Nose | Nicely aromatic, this Grenache and Carignan smells of wild berries, flowers, jammy red fruit and spices, nuanced by some toasted hints. On the whole, there is an enticing forest-like note running through it. |
Palate | Fresh and lively, with plenty of juicy red fruit intertwined with Mediterranean garrigue, with some toasted remembrances and a lively, crisp acidity. This red wine by Josep Grau has a long, gently mineral finish. |
Our personal opinion | A combination of freshness, elegance and complexity, Territori 2017 is a hugely enjoyable Monsant red wine. |
