Selecció Miriam, released in December 2020, is a very limited production made exclusively from selected Carignan grapes from La Tena, old vines over 100 years old, growing on the slatey Llicorella soil at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level.

No additives are used for clarification, and fermentation takes place with the fruit's natural yeast only. Aged for 24 months in new, medium-toasted French Allier barrique. Production of 600 bottles.

Tasting notes:

Excellent concentration of aromas and flavours, dense and rich, layers of spicy black fruits, licorice, and mineral notes add complexity and volume. Elegant style that should mature beautifully.

Notes: It is recommended to decant before serving. This wine has great potential for ageing, should evolve for another few years, and will gain with some time in bottle.
