Oriol Artigas El Rumbero Garnacha Negre 2023

Country: Spain

Region: Catalonia

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Garnatxa Negra

Oriol Artigas cultivates the vineyards in the most natural and least interventionist way possible, to allow the grapes to express in the most intense way the landscape from which they come. He works about 12 hectares in total, mostly of old vines. He allows vegetation to grow between the vines, prunes very little, and works the vineyards primarily along the lunar calendar. In the winery, fermentations are completely spontaneous, aging is primarily done in steel vats, and sulfur is never used at any point in his process.  

This vintage of El Rumbero is 100% Garnatxa Negra from 2 vineyards on granitic sands. Fermented whole cluster in mostly stainless steel tanks and rested in the same vessels. Fresh, light-bodied and elegant with bright red fruit aromas. Vibrant and expressive on the palate, with pomegranate, ripe raspberries and lightly peppery notes.
