Terroir Sense Fronteres Montsant Negre 2019

Terroir Sense Fronteres Negre is a Garnacha and Cariñena blend from bush vines around Capçanes in Montsant.

Montsant curves around Priorat and shares much of its geology without the same prices. Negre is seventy-five per cent Garnacha and twenty-five per cent Cariñena from mature vines sited near Capçanes, averaging twenty-five years of age and planted as bush vines at around 350 metres with varied exposures. The Garnacha comes from the mixed sandy clay soils known locally as panal, while the Cariñena is grown on predominantly red clay. Winemaking is deliberately light-touch: the fruit is fermented whole-bunch in tank alone, with a gentle and short fermentation of seven or eight days, after which the wine rests six months in tank and is bottled unfiltered. No oak is used at any point, so what reaches the glass is the fruit and the mineral edge of the site.

Best over the next five years, and it takes a light chill well. Good with grilled sausages, tomato-based stews or roast eggplant. Serve at 16°C.
