Located in the Garaff Masiff mountain range, south of Barcelona, Carlos Esteva in 1979 took a dilapidated family estate, began restoring his grandfather's house, and made it a dynamic property in Penedes. Aged for 12 months in French oak with grapes from 30 year-old vines. A Mediterranean Bordeaux blend, dark almost purple with dark fruit, earth and spice. On the palate blackberry and tart cherry with pronounced earthy tones. Fine tannins, well balanced with elegant finish ending with mineral notes.
