About the wine
Barrel-aged Spanish red made with 100% organic grapes
- This savory, full-bodied and complex red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Merlot is packed with dark fruit flavors and the unique power that wines from the Priorat region in southern Catalonia are famous for.
- Your support helped Franck source certified organic grapes from a steep hillside vineyard planted on Priorat’s distinct black slate soil. The conditions here force the vines to work harder, resulting in lower yields, but much more intense flavors per grape.
- Franck chose the name "Retrat" (Catalán for “portrait”) for the picture this wine paints of the Priorat region, capturing its unique character, from the soils and climate to the people who lovingly tend the vines and work to bring this wine to you.
Best before
This savory red will age well for up to 8 years.
Serving advice
If you have a decanter at home, don't hesitate to use it and give this red some time to breathe before serving.
Food match
This red would go superbly with a pan-fried ribeye served with triple-cooked fries. My other favorite dishes include robust butifarra sausages, a hearty Catalán veal and mushroom dish called fricandó and roasted vegetables served with the tangy romesco sauce.
