Garnacha, Carignan 14.0% ABV
Montsant is an appellation that surrounds the more famous appellation of Priorat. While Priorat’s vineyards are a sun drenched ampitheater, Montsant’s terroir is more varied. Priorat’s wines are lush and bold, while those of Montsant are medium to full-bodied and fresher, so they are ready to drink upon release. To use a Rhône reference, Montsant is to Gigondas what Priorat is to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Tosalet is a project of Hammeken Cellars, a small company that produces wines with fruit from appellations throughout Spain. Aged in stainless steel. Baked red cherry, red raspberry, blueberry, balsamic, flinty minerality.
