Fruity & Powerful

Teixar, Garnatxa Vella

Red wine | Vinyes Domènech, Montsant DO

The charm under the animal skin!
This Teixar cuvée, from very old vines, offers intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberries and wild strawberries, with a finish of lavender and rosemary. A marvel of balance between the power of its terroir and the elegance of Grenache. But not just any... it's the version with slightly hairy leaves, Garnatxa Peluda, an old and rare mutation, capable of producing very great wines, the proof!

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.
