WINE DESCRIPTION
Joan d'Anguera Altaroses is a biodynamically crafted Grenache from Montsant, born from the Altaroses estate’s distinctive clay and limestone soils. This wine captures the essence of its Mediterranean heritage with an eco-conscious approach and refined precision. Hand-harvested at peak ripeness, the grapes undergo a careful selection before fermenting in stainless steel for 12 days at a controlled 25°C. The wine’s malolactic fermentation unfolds in concrete tanks, where 80% of the wine matures for 12 months, while the remaining 20% ages in seasoned oak barrels, lending subtle depth without overpowering the natural vibrancy. Bottled unfiltered, Altaroses balances freshness with a smooth texture, delivering a true Grenache expression that speaks to the soul of Montsant’s terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Joan d'Anguera Altaroses offers an elegant bouquet of red berries, with notes of cherry, plum, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs.The palate is vibrant yet smooth, showcasing a harmonious blend of fresh acidity and soft tannins that make it both refreshing and satisfying. This Grenache’s silky texture and balanced finish pair beautifully with grilled lamb chops, rosemary-infused roasted vegetables, or a hearty ratatouille. For a lighter option, try it with charcuterie or a Manchego cheese plate, as the wine’s brightness and depth complement savory, earthy flavors exceptionally well, creating a truly delightful Mediterranean-inspired dining experience.
