Introduction:
The 2022 Perlat Tinto Montsant is a vibrant and expressive red blend, marrying Garnacha (Grenache), Cariñena (Carignan), and Syrah. It’s lively, textured, and showcases the distinctive personality of Montsant wines with both elegance and vigor.
Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards in the Montsant region of Catalonia, characterized by limestone and mixed alluvial soils. The region’s elevation and Mediterranean influence support full ripeness while preserving natural acidity.
Appearance:
Deep purplish-red with a brilliant, youthful clarity.
Nose:
Aromatics of ripe red and black fruits—cherry, raspberry, and blackberry—are layered with fresh floral notes and a touch of subtle herbal complexity.
Palate:
Medium-bodied, with supple texture, fine-grained tannins, and lively acidity. Juicy red berries and floral hints lead, supported by a nuanced mineral edge and integrated oak spice from barrel aging.
Finish:
Long and balanced—fruit lingers with mineral brightness, light spice, and a polished, lingering finish.
Overall Impression:
A well-structured and approachable Catalan red that highlights Montsant's terroir and varietal character. Ideal with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, tapas, or savory cheese. Drink now through 2028.
