Essence of the wine

A truly unconventional wine, the result of Joan Josep Tetes’ creative vision, designed to be unique and full of personality. Limited production: 5,980 bottles.

Variety

Cabernet Sauvignon 100%

Terroir

The grapes come from the Vinya dels Avis de Mas Muntanyans vineyard, a clay-limestone terroir, ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. The proximity to the Mediterranean Sea provides a refreshing breeze that benefits the vines, while the parcel’s location protects the vines, creating a mild and balanced climate, perfect for viticulture.

Winemaking Process

Hand-harvested, destemmed, and meticulously selected. Fermentation takes place in 2,000-liter cubic oak vats, combining different types of French oak. The wine is then aged in new French oak barrels for 60 months before bottling. Bottle aging lasts for at least 2 years before release.

Appearance

Dark mahogany color with garnet hues.

Aroma

On the nose, it reveals ripe black fruit aromas, such as cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate spicy notes of black pepper and cinnamon. Hints of oak barrel aging appear, with nuances of chocolate, cocoa, and licorice, along with a distinct minerality that adds depth and complexity.

Taste

A refined, full-bodied wine with remarkable complexity. The nose aromas carry through, but with greater intensity, highlighting red and black fruit, spicy notes, and delicate woody undertones. The minerality from the limestone-rich soil remains present, delivering a balanced, elegant, and gastronomic finish.

Serving temperature

18º

Food pairing and serving

An ideal wine to accompany red meats, such as a beef tenderloin or roasted lamb. It also pairs perfectly with dishes like grilled rabbit or confit duck. Its smooth tannins and complexity make it an excellent match for aged cheeses like Manchego or Pecorino, as well as foie gras or pâté. At the table, it also complements spiced dishes, such as a beef stew, and desserts with dark chocolate or red fruits, which enhance its deep, spicy notes.
