“Encarinyades” (Red) 2022

This bottle is undoubtedly “all about Carignan”…

Winemaker Salvador explains that carignan has good ageing potential, so this wine could be one to hold on to. Still, when asked, Salvador says: “drink as though it’s the last day of your life - that’s my recommendation and if you have the good fortune to be alive tomorrow continue - the time is now.”

In true Salvador style, this bottle sports a beautiful illustration. It features three ladies dancing under the moon, emerging elegantly from their vines in a “genie-esque” fashion. They represent the three types of Carignan grapes - white, grey & black - coming together to form an extraordinary wine blend.
