“100% Grenache”

"The 2018 Masusta Red comes from an organically farmed vineyard (uncertified). It was fermented to preserve the varietal character of the Garnacha and aged in neutral oak barrels for two winters to allow the wine to stabilize naturally. It is ripe and full-bodied at 14.5% alcohol, yet balanced and showing no excess. The oak is fully integrated, and the wine is juicy, revealing fine-grained tannins and pure flavors.” (Wine Advocate 2021)
