The red 2019 Camí Pesseroles comes from a co-plantation of Garnacha and Cariñena planted in 1939. Whole clusters were foot trodden and fermented with indigenous yeasts for almost three weeks in open-top 500-liter chestnut wood barrels and an oak vat. The wine was pressed and matured in 650-liter chestnut and acacia, cherry and oak barrels. There was a heat wave, and the Cariñena was blocked. The wine has a very light color and very good tension in the palate. It's very young and elegant, and it has more of the profile of the Escurçons, which in 2019 is more concentrated than Pesseroles. 13.5% alcohol, very good freshness... Delicate like no other vintage. Surprising. 1,200 bottles produced.

An elegant red, deftly integrating a core of sculpted tannins with a fine range of pureed black raspberry, ground anise and white pepper, loamy earth and licorice notes. Floral on the nose, with good length and tension on the fresh finish. Grenache and Carignan. Drink now through 2029. 250 cases made, 20 cases imported.
