2014 JOAN D'ANGUERA "PLANELLA" MONTSANT
2014 JOAN D'ANGUERA "PLANELLA" MONTSANT, CATALUNYA, SPAIN. Organic/Biodynamic. 65% Carignan, 25% Syrah, and 10% Grenache. (Demeter Certified Biodynamic, EU Certified organic)
Sourced from the limestone and clay soils of Finca Planella vineyard's north-facing slopes. Fermentation in concrete vats using indigenous yeasts. Aged for 12 months in old French oak barrels and bottled unfiltered.
About:Josep d’Anguera the elder had made a name as the man who introduced Syrah to the region. After he passed away, his two sons Joan and Josep took over, under the guidance of their mother Mercè. Since then, they have been working on defining their own style and putting their unique mark on the wines. This process has led to numerous developments. One is the conversion to biodynamics: the 2012 vintage was the first to be certified by Demeter. Others include the introduction of techniques such as crushing by foot and de-stemming only partially. There are also changes in aging vessels: the use of new wood is being dramatically reduced in favor of older barrels, foudres, and cement tanks. And the brothers are focusing less on Syrah and more on Grenache (or “Granatxa,” the old Catalan name for the grape), a grape with a longer history in this region. (Importer)
