SINDICAT LA FIGUERA 2022 GARNATXA MONTSANT

We love the simple pleasures of this quintessentially old-school red: deliciously savory, fruity, suave and mid-weight, it's a traditional taste of the Mediterranean mountains of Montsant. This is pure Garnacha, sourced from higher-altitude vines, then fermented and aged in old-fashioned underground concrete vats for a brief 9 months. Flavors combine in a balanced swirl of umami-tinged baked plum and strawberry, orange oil, peppercorn, tobacco, sage and developing leather. The complexity and graceful openness make it a serious everyday wine! The Sindicat La Figuera is a group of Montsant growers, formed in 1932, but given new life by star winemaker Rene Barbier of Clos Mogador.
