"Red of Reds" … A captivating blend of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah. The Mediterranean countryside, bottled. Rosemary, thyme, lavender on the nose. And the unmistakable underpinnings of Priorat minerality. Ripe dark fruits, balanced and rounded, with a freshness that makes for easy and pleasurable drinking.
A wine of great depth and intensity. The yin and yang of Carignan and Syrah: powerful, masculine, yet layered with floral notes. Dark sweet fruits, pepper. Silky tannins. Balanced acidity. One for the cellar, if you can resist.
The Grand Cru of the estate. One-hundred percent Carignan, sourced from a century-old vineyard. Remarkable elegance and finesse, nuance. Floral notes. Fresh, mineral. Only 1,856 bottles produced.
Elegant and insinuating. A complex array of fruit aromas: melon, peach, tangerine, fig and quince, layered with floral notes. The palate is focused and precise, with a mineral-driven persistence that underscores the honeydew, citrus zest and pear-skin flavors. Great freshness and balance. Seventy percent Treixadura, and the rest Godello, Lado, Albariño, and Loureira. Only 3,300 bottles produced. (Singles, or case of six bottles.)
Relative to the 2016 vintage, the 2015 shows somewhat more influence from its élevage in 500-liter French oak barrels. Candied pear and apricot aromas. Rich palate, complex, with ripe, blood-orange and apricot flavors. (Singles, or case of six bottles.)
One-hundred percent Mencia. A true expression of the plots and the Mencia grape. Powerful, dense. Black raspberry aromas, layered with floral and mineral notes. Well-structured. An elegant wine, crafted in the classic style with noble tannins. (Singles, or case of six bottles.)
Reminiscences of Bordeaux in this classical 2014 vintage ... though thoroughly anchored to its plots in Bierzo. As always, restrained, elegant. Fresh raspberries, with hints of herbs, pepper and spice. Fine-grained tannins. A superb and serious Atlantic red. Excellent aging potential. (Singles, or case of six bottles. Limited quantities available.)

There's a very rich, bright feel to this dark-fruited wine. Green cherry, pomegranate, violets and lavender on the nose. Balsamic notes, mineral base, green pomegranate and bramble on the palate. Fresh and expressive. Complex, with concentrated fruit that sustains a long, lush finish. Only 3,200 bottles produced. (Singles, or case of six bottles.)
One-hundred percent Red Grenache. Ripe, dark fruits, then subtle aromas of pink and purple petals. Balsamic notes, spicy base of black pepper and mineral with hints of stone fire. Blackcurrants, raspberries, citrus and dark cherries. Medium body. Soft and silky tannins. Nuanced, albeit persistent. Created by Josep Grau as a tribute to his mother. Only 2,700 bottles produced. (Singles, or case of six bottles.)
One-hundred percent White Grenache. Very fine and complex nose, aromas of white fruits and flowers (think fresh jasmine). Wild herbs, and yes, granite-like character ... a faithful reflection of the plot from which this white comes. On the palate, forthright acidity perfectly counterpoints citrus and green fruits. Only 2,700 bottles produced. (Singles, or case of six bottles.)
Ninety percent Red Grenache, 10 percent White Grenache. Pink pearls color. Seductive, fragrant and generous ... a rosé with soul. Original nose of roses and sweet spices. On the palate, creamy, broad, with a lovely, long finish. A gastronomic wine. Burgundy bottle. (Singles, or case of six bottles.)
