Grans Muralles, DO Conca de Barberà
Grans Muralles takes its name from the walls that protected the monastery at Poblet during the Mercenary wars. The vineyard is located at the foot of this ancient wall, a site that has been planted to vines since the 13th century. The historic estate lies at 500 meters above sea level, sheltered by the Sierra de Prades, and extends across 32 hectares of which only six are exclusively dedicated to making this extraordinary wine. The unmistakable identity of Grans Muralles is thanks to the story, slate soils of the region (Licorella and Granite), and the grape varieties revived from near extinction, Garró and Querol that are incorporated into the blend. Together with Cariñena, Garnacha and Monastrell, they create the unique spirit of this wine.

The site's deep rocky soils are layered with deposits of Paleozoic slate and granite gravel beds which allow for swift drainage and a low water holding capacity. The mineral-rich soils and limited water supply contribute to the production of wines that display great typicity, concentration and exceptional quality.

Grans Muralles reveals a cherry red with intense depth of color. Delicious aroma of blackberry with notes of dates against a licorice backdrop. The palate reveals a personality-driven wine and the unmistakable character of its variety and its elegant, historical terroir. The subtle, refined tannins stand in contrast to the powerful structure of this great wine: intense, flavorful, with a distinct identity.

"The 2019 Grans Muralles is a blend of 42% Cariñena, 40% Garnatxa, 10% Querol, 5% Monastrell and 3% Garró, sourced from Conca de Barberà. This intriguing red wine unfolds with garrigue-like aromas, dried flowers, blood orange and spicy balsamic hints. On the palate, it is dry, delicate and silky, with mild acidity and fine-grained tannins leading to a fairly weightless mouthfeel. This is a rare red with personality and energy."
