Created by Daphne Glorian in the late 1980s, it is part of a small group of projects that helped establish the appellation among the world’s great wine-producing regions. It comes from low-yield vineyards situated on llicorella soils, characterized by their fragmented slate, and is made primarily from Garnacha, with contributions from other Mediterranean varieties. The 2000 vintage reflects a style of remarkable concentration, structure, and maturity, with expressions of black fruit, spices, mineral notes, and balsamic nuances.
