Merchant's description

The Espectacle 2012 is a notable red wine from Montsant, crafted from old Garnacha vines situated in a terraced amphitheatre. This vineyard, close to La Morera, is planted on chalky soils at a higher altitude, contributing to the wine`s character. The vintage showcases aromas of ripe red berries, floral notes and subtle spices. The palate is defined by its polished tannins and pronounced acidity. René Barbier is known for his commitment to the region, having sourced exceptional sites to craft distinctive wines.
