"100% Grenache"

The 2018 Masusta Red comes from an organically farmed vineyard (not certified). It was fermented in a way that preserves the varietal character of Garnacha, and it matured in neutral oak barrels for two winters to achieve natural stabilization of the wine. It is ripe and full at 14.5% alcohol, but it is balanced and shows no excess. The oak is completely integrated, and the wine is juicy and reveals fine-grained tannins and pure flavors."
