Clos Lentiscus Wow Wow Tinto 1 Liter 2020

Clos Lentiscus is Manel Avinyó's estate inside the Garraf Natural Park, around fifty kilometres from Barcelona in Catalonia, where he works native and Mediterranean varieties with a minimal intervention approach. This Wow Wow Tinto is a natural Syrah, organic and vegan, made with no additions. The vineyards sit on the limestone soils of the coastal Garraf hills, where the maritime influence and poor calcareous ground keep yields low and acidity high, helping the wine reach only 11 percent alcohol. Fermentation and ageing take place in stainless steel rather than oak, which preserves the bright primary fruit and gives a clean, unframed expression of the grape. The colour is a vivid, light ruby. The nose is fresh and lifted, with red berries, cherry, cracked black pepper and wild herbs. The palate is light bodied and juicy, with low tannin, crisp acidity and a slightly saline, herbal finish. This is an easy drinking style that can take a light chill. Serve at 13 to 14 degrees, with charcuterie, roast pork, grilled vegetables or meatier fish.
