Estones - GS | Montsant DO Grenache - Carignan
Red wine | Spain, CATALUNA | 2018
Deep black cherry color with good concentration and tinted tear.
The sense of smell is shy and soft at the beginning and needs to be
in the glass for few minutes to show its full potential.
It is fruity in mouth with notes of ripe berries, plums and strawberry
with a hint of spice and balsamic notes, with a licorice background.
It has remarkable mineral notes and a soft and slow entry with
fresh and well-balanced acidity.
The fruity perception and the aging notes are subtly mixed. It is bold
and tantalizing, and has mature tannin. It has a long and persistent
aftertaste, and it is in this moment when its elegant mineral notes stand.

About Estones
In 2008, two enterprising persons with a long and extensive experience in the wine
industry and passionate about their respective professions, the winemaker Salvi Moliner and the sommelier Sergi Montalà, launched a project and created a winery in the Priorat region in order to produce wines with his own style and at the same time identified with the DO Montsant.
