This is a young, fruity red wine made from a blend of Black Grenache and Syrah grapes from their own vineyards located in the municipality of Batea. The grapes are grown using dry farming and environmentally friendly viticulture practices.

Produced by Bielsa Ruano Vins, a small family project located in Vilalba dels Arcs, within the Terra Alta DO. The family have solid roots in viticulture and oenology and are firmly linked to the territory and the cultivation of the vineyards. The project commenced in 2017 with the acquisition of the family home, where the cellar has been built in the basement of the building to expand the project.

The project is currently led by Joaquim Bielsa, a winegrower and oenologist who has devoted part of his life to winegrowing alongside his parents while also completing higher education studies in oenology and gaining valuable experience working in various wineries throughout Catalonia. They work 10 hectares of vineyards, located within the municipality of Batea, which have been cultivated and cared for by five previous generations.

Production:

The grapes are pressed and fermented at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts for 7 days. Then it rests for a couple of months in stainless steel vats.

Tasting Notes:

The wine has an intense violet-red colour. Pleasant notes of red fruits and subtle spicy hints. On the palate, it has volume and a smooth texture, displaying delicious red fruit flavour accompanied by an excellent acidity. Long finish leaving a sensation of freshness.
