Joe Weinberger

This is Carignan and Lledoner Pelut (aka “hairy Grenache” - an uncommon mutation of Grenache). The wine is certainly young, and I think a few years of bottle age will truly allow this to shine. It opened up nicely after about an hour of air. High toned cherry and strawberry with a persistent acid and mineral streak. The wine finishes with the same noticeable herbaceous quality that I find in all of Lubbe’s wines.
