Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Luis Gutiérrez
The red 2018 Camí Pesseroles was named after the vineyard where the Garnacha and Cariñena grapes come from, a plot co-planted in 1939. The whole clusters were foot trodden and then fermented in two open-top 500-liter chestnut wood barrels and an oak vat with indigenous yeasts for almost three weeks. The wine was pressed and matured in 650-liter chestnut and acacia, cherry and oak wood barrels. The wine is only 13.5% alcohol and in this cool vintage has retained very good freshness. It has the elegant and fresh style of all these reds; the wines are precise, aromatic and open. This is surprisingly elegant for Cariñena, a grape that almost always has a rustic touch. 2,132 bottles and some larger formats were filled in June 2020.
About the Producer
We are always looking for new points of view, with a culture based on balance, sustainability and harmony with nature. We are committed to tradition, to the environment and to people. We recover some varieties and reinvent some processes and materials under the principles of agroecology and minimum intervention with the maximum respect for the people who work on it. We stand up for an ecofeminist and cross-cutting view of the world. We work the crops in an environmentally friendly way, being as respectful as possible with the processes. We grow leguminous plants, and we recover wild varieties of flowers and shrubs. We base on the lunar calendar in order to optimise the natural treatments that we use in the vineyard, such as compost and herbal infusions. Small gestures to obtain wines which are faithful to their plot by actively contributing to the balance of our farming systems
