"The 2022 Marcenca de Montsant comes from the same vineyard as the grapes used for the Guix Vermell wine, pure Garnacha at 800 meters on stony clay and gypsum soils. It had a much lighter extraction and matured in concrete for six months. It has a moderate 12.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.7. This vineyard was picked earlier; it's a part of the vineyard that they harvest with the grapes fully ripe but with moderate alcohol. The difference here is that the vinification is very soft, softer than in Guix Vermell, which is a part of the vineyard that is harvested later and has a more intense vinification. The aim here is to produce something closer to a clarete than a more traditional red. It takes some time to open up in the glass to reveal beautiful, high-pitched notes of wild berries and herbs, violets, something ethereal and very elegant. It's pale and elegant, with very fine tannins and a velvety sensation in the palate. 1,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023."
