El Petit Carlania 2019

Description

100% Trepat. Elevation 400-500 meters. Vine Age 30-40 years. Only 8,346 bottles made in this vintage.

El Petit Carlania come from the Conca de Barberà and is made from 30 to 40 year old Trepat vines grown biodynamically between 400 and 500 meters elevation on calcareous-clay soils. After hand harvesting, the grapes were mostly destemmed and fermented in steel vats with a 15 day maceration with a small portion of the cuvée seeing some carbonic maceration, then raised over the winter in tank. The finished wine was bottled the following spring without fining, filtration or added SO2. This is a gorgeously aromatic and vibrant tinto joven, with a bouquet of red fruit, citrus blossom, and white pepper – pure and lithe on the palate with the same mouth-coating flavors as on the nose.
