Acclaim
“The Petra block used to be planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, but was grafted over to Garnacha in 2013. The result, now into its second vintage as a stand-alone wine, is floral, delicate and subtle, rather than a blockbuster, with understated wood, racy acidity, fine-grained tannins and sweet, juicy red berry fruit.”
— Tim Atkin, Feb 2020
“Inky garnet to the eye, this wine has aromas of cherry, raspberry and anisette. Bold tannins support flavors of cranberry, pomegranate, dark chocolate and dried herbs that reveal a bright splash of orange on the finish.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2022

Wine Production

After a dry summer the harvest was one month later than the previous one, and also as dry as during the summer, allowing thus an excellent grape sanity. Due to the green harvesting in summer, the concentration and quality of the grapes was extraordinary, a superior quality vintage for us.
