Great value wine — a year ago
Lunch at Granja Vendrell w kids. Skin contact blend made from local varietals in Catalunya. Expressive, slightly herbal nose. Tannic and gently acidic. Can taste the amphora in this wine. — 4 years ago

Surprisingly, bright with red fruits, anise, wild herbs on the nose. Initial fruit forward, quickly melds into new leather, stewed red/black fruit with a chewiness. Dry, medium plus alcohol, medium plus bodied, silky tannins, medium acidity. Nice finish. It can age longer, but probably won't increase in enjoyability. For the price point, it's a 👍 but not overwhelming so.

Granja Vendrell in Barcelona. Gewurztraminer from northern Italy. Sweet, honey nose, but very little sweetness on the palate. Stone fruits. Honey. Acidity keeps it fresh.
This Gewürztraminer in fact, is proposed with a style less concentrated on the aromatic part in favor of body and taste-olfactory finesse. The wine has a beautiful intense straw yellow color. On the nose, its fruity scents of white peach, citrus notes of lime and lemon, bergamot conquer the nose; also present hints of dried aromatic herbs such as thyme and white sage, decisive herbaceous and vegetable hints, which we then also find on the palate. On the palate, the wine is intense, with good minerality and great finesse, the characteristic of his personality that most represents him. Persistent, it remains on the palate very long, with great pleasure. — 4 years ago

Rare wine. Production less then 3000 bottles 9 different grapes. Perfume of south fruits, yellow flowers, bit minerality, eukalyptus…various fruits in general. Bit buttery, midle to low acidity. Really good, my expectations were higher. — 2 months ago
