Tasting
Appearance
Dense, abundant and viscous tears. Amber colour.
Nose
Aromas of candied orange peel, dried fig, raisins, toasted notes and pipe tobacco and honey, with caramelised hints.
Mouthfeel
Sublime acidity, which balances the concentration of sugar and gives it the necessary point of freshness.
General
This double oxidative ageing gives the wine, in addition to its colour, a complex set of aromas set brimming with nuances that take some time to work out.
Serving temperature
Between 6 and 8 degrees
Pairing Notes
It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, by the glass, with desserts, and more. Important to respect the recommended temperature.
Occasion
Can you think of something better to round off a good meal than a dessert wine like this? We can't. This is an exceptional dessert wine that will keep the after-dinner chat going for a long time. With a short finish, it's a wine that turns heads with its intense amber colour. On the palate it's voluptuous, occupying the entire mouth with a dense texture and a warm touch. Perfect to be sipped and enjoyed slowly. A great excuse to keep conversations going, whatever the topic of debate.
In the vineyard
In the Empordà, they call the Garnacha variety hackberry, because the term Garnacha is reserved for this mellow, silky wine with the warmth of the Mediterranean sun that has ripened each grape.
In the winery
Natural dessert wine made with mid-fermentation wine alcohol and double oxidative ageing in a 600-litre American oak barrel and with a solera started more than fifty years ago; and in demijohns placed in the sun in the windows of the winery.
Cellar
Celler Cooperatiu d'Espolla
The building of the Bodega Cooperativa de Espolla cooperative opened its doors on 8 November 1931, designed by the architect Pelayo Martinez and inspired by the so-called wine cathedrals of the Tarragona area.
The project had its origins in the Espolla Agricultural Union, established in 1906 by its winegrowers.
Do Empordà
Wine culture reached Catalonia around the sixth century BC thanks to the most important Greek colony in the country, Empúries.
Four centuries later, the wines of the Emporiae territories were well-known in domestic markets, in other provinces of the Roman Empire and in the metropolis itself.
