Terroir Sense Fronteres Negre 2022

The red called simply 2022 Negre ("red" in Catalan language) is pure Garnacha from the south of Montsant that fermented with full clusters and indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, where the wine matured for six months. It has 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.59. It's pure fruit, very expressive, varietal and open with a sense of purity and harmony. It has a beautiful nose that is floral and clean, with red fruit notes. It's juicy and light but with some grip that gives it seriousness. Like most of the range in 2022, they are a little warmer and rounder, varietal but not banal. This comes from purchased grapes that are worked organically. It's very young but approachable. Beautiful. 17,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023.

Varietal Garnacha, fermented with 100% whole bunches before 6 months of ageing in stainless steel. Bright, light and very transparent. Raspberry and cherry fruit mingles with light spice and aromas of wild herbs. Grainy tannin and refreshing acidity allow the fruit flavours to shine through. A subtle wine, but one that grows on you quickly. 2022-2030

Nice reduction here with pomegranate, raspberries and wild strawberries. Really fresh and zingy on the palate with a medium body and fresh, firm tannins. Nothing chewy here. Drink now.
