Production:  The new addition to the Nin-Ortiz family is this biodynamically farmed blend of Grenaches in Amphores. Sourced from younger vines of approximately 17 years in age, from 4 hectares at Finca Planetes in the municipal district of Porrera, growing here on a soil which is characteristic of the area "llicorella" or slate at an altitude of 650 meters above sea level.  The grapes have been hand sorted.  Fermentation takes place only with autochthonous yeast. Aged for 17 months in one Amphore. Natural wine containing only 5 mg/L in total of SO2. Bottled in March 2017. Production of 930 bottles.

Today their vineyards are fully recognised and certified by the Catalan organic farming council (CCPAE) and they also apply preparations based on biodynamic farming methods, as following the calendar of the planets in both vineyards and winery.

Tasting Notes: Red fruit and minerality, nicely balanced with good fruit and freshness. Elegance and class as its best.
