VINTAGE 2000 - Roda

CIRSION

Wine from selected bunches where the grapes have matured exceptionally.

In 1995 we discovered that some vines produced grapes whose flavor was very different to the one of the vines around them. They produced a sensation of fullness, of volume, with notes that were more alike to a wine than to a grape. Two years later, we made our first CIRSION, which we did not commercialize, and we tested that with a short aging, the wine reached a level of incredible silkiness and a fruit complexity out of the ordinary. Each vintage we walk through the vineyards looking for this curious natural peculiarity, and that’s how, one in a thousand, the CIRSION grapes are picked.

TASTING

Colour:

High layer with a dark cherry background and red rim.

Nose:

It is very intense with a very marked leather attack. Fruit and earth can be appreciated but at this moment the leather is covering it.

Palate:

Also in the mouth the sensation of leather is very present and masks the greatness of the wine.

Below you can see the black fruit in a wine with great volume and a lot of presence. There is a certain liquorous sensation that indicates the origin of a Mediterranean vintage.
