Furvus

Red wine | Vinyes Domènech, Montsant DO

The dark beauty of Montsant
This red wine offers a beautiful complexity of ripe black fruits, blueberries, spices and toasted notes. Warm and creamy, it maintains a lovely freshness thanks to old, certified organic high-altitude vines. The secret of this dark wine ("furvus" in Latin) perhaps also lies in the use of a rare type of local Grenache, combined with a touch of Merlot, for flesh and roundness.

Vinyes Domènech

The Domènech family, originally from Falset in the county of Priorat in Catalonia, acquired in 2002 one of the oldest wine estates of Capçanes in the DO Montsant. The cellar, certified organic since 2008, cultivates 10 hectares of terraced vineyards, planted mainly with old Grenache plants, and produces modern white and red wines, which perfectly reflect the terroir from which they come.
