Volador Tinto
Josep Grau oversees 26ha of organic vineyards in Priorat and Montsant, at varying elevations and degrees of llicorella (slate), chalky clay, and decomposed granite. This Tinto is 60-70% Garnacha Tinta, 30% Cariñena, 10% Syrah from calcareous clays, native fermented and aged in concrete tanks for 6 months. Scrubby herbs and broken stones imbue black raspberry, wild cherry, perfumed dark plum, and cracked pepper, with an easy lifted acidity, and long, finely buzzy tannins. A very pure and pretty expression of place and grapes.
“The 2022 Volador is a blend of 75% Garnatxa with 25% Cariñena and Syrah, sourced from Montsant. This ripe red wine presents faint herbal tones alongside sun-kissed black kissed black fruit and a hint of mint. Dry and juicy, it features a taut texture with a mild, lasting finish. Drinking Window 2025-2034.” - 92 points, Joaquin Hidalga, Vinous, November 2024.
