Tasting note:
This wine is of a brilliant cherry color. On the nose, the aromatic impact is practically immediate. It is a sweet wine that combines a minerality on the nose with the aromas of red fruits, blueberries and plums. The tannins are present but in a soft way. On the palate it is creamy, probably thanks to the hairy Grenache combined with the smoothness that characterizes Merlot. Leaves an aftertaste with confronting notes and mineral touches.

The Vinyes Domenech winery is synonymous with the search for perfection through simplicity, but which in turn makes it something very unique. They do not understand the making of a wine without taking care of the whole environment as the most important thing.
This is how Joan Ignasi and Rita began in 2002, knowing that this area of the Montsant Natural Park is wonderful, very unique, that it has a unique biodiversity, and an incomparable landscape. And they wanted to put all of this in a bottle, so that it could be shared by as many people as possible, who, with each sip, could move to these wonderful places in Tarragona, an hour and a half from Barcelona. A luxury.
As all their wines are a luxury, worked in a monovarietal way with grapes from the area: the white, red, red-gray and hairy Grenache are the ones chosen for their wines. Considered one of the best wineries in the DO Montsant, they are immersed in that trend to care for and preserve the territory. Working the land and its vineyards with organic and biodynamic agriculture, and prioritizing the basic principles that act in nature, in order to achieve balance and better health for the plant.
Because sustainability is a first-order issue for the Domènech family, and year after year, they are achieving something very important. Which is to reduce the consumption of natural resources and consequently, the emission of greenhouse gases.
That is understood when one arrives at the vineyards. The natural landscape is very beautiful, created around a natural amphitheater, protected by a lush forest of great natural beauty, in the Priorat region. Characterized by natural slopes that facilitate different mesoclimates, which, in turn, provide unique wines. For this reason, as we fell in love with them, they occupy a preferential place in our wine selection at MadeinSpain.store.

I love it with goat cheese and aged sheep cheese. Alone, to accompany the reading of a good book, it is also a very stimulating option!
