The wine is organically farmed using biodynamic principles. Aged for 12 months in French oak barriques. No Sulphur is added and the wines are bottled without fining or filtration.

Joan Ramon Escoda and Carmen Sanahuja, farmers, wine growers and wine makers, started in 1997 using organic farming methods and as from 2003 they are following the Biodynamic methods of agriculture in their land. They are members of the Natural Wine Producers association as well as of the Mediterranean Biodynamic Work Group.
Totally respecting the values of the fruit and of nature, they use indigenous wine yeast for grape fermentation and they do not carry out any type of filtering, clarifying or stabilising of their wines. Also, since the harvest of 2007 hey have been making wines with no added Sulphur. 

Tasting Notes: Intense aromas of red fruits  with subtle notes of oak well integrated on the nose and some mineral nuances. Earthy feeling, round with good weight of fruit and a smooth creamy palate, well balanced.

Note: Drink over the next 3 – 4 years.
