In 2003, Tomàs Cusiné decided to embark on a new wine-producing project, one into which he could put all of his passion and knowledge for producing the finest wines. His extensive experience in the DO (with Castell de Remei) enables Tomàs to create wines of the highest character and elegance, marking the beginning of a project with great hopes and ambitions His aim, as always, was to elaborate wines full of character that were capable of fully reflecting the characteristics of the soils from which they were produced. 

  • Winemaker: Tomàs Cusiné 
  • Farming: Organic
  • Varieties: 55% Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo), 25% Syrah & 20% Garnatxa
  • Terroir: Vineyard parcels are located on slopes, with older vines planted ‘en vaso’ and other varieties (planted in 2004) on a high density trellis system. Soils are mostly calcerous clay, with gravels and good drainage.
  • Vinification: Hand harvested and cooled in cold-storage rooms before going through the selection table. Fermentation takes place at a temperature between 22-24°C. The wine is then aged 9 months in French oak barrels.
  • Tasting Notes: Smocked, pungent aromas of black and blue fruits and dark chocolate, with a peppery overtone. Plush and appealingly sweet, offering spicy blackberry and boysenberry flavors and a hint of mocha. Finished with a good breadth and length, leaving a smoky note behind.
