Joan d'Anguera, "Altaroses", 2022

Fresh, Elegant and Pure Everyday Drinking Wine

Unfined and unfiltered, this wine is a wonderfully restrained and elegant expression of the Montsant terruño (terroir). With great purity of fruit, it is much lighter than what you might expect from a Montsant “Granatxa”, a true everyday drinking wine. Fresh on the palate with red fruit flavous. A spicy, floral, and mineral finish.

• Aged 14 months in French oak
• 100% Garnacha

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Joan d’Anguera founded this estate in 1820 in the wine-producing region of Montsant which surrounds Priorat in Catalonia in Spain’s northeast. Fast forward seven generations, and another Joan and his brother Josep have built on the innovative work of their father, Josep d’Anguera Senior, who died prematurely in 2000. The estate is now fully biodynamic and producing a range and quality of wines that had led to wide acclaim. Though Priorat’s powerful red wines have allowed it to lord it over its near neighbour, Montsant is steadily building its own reputation with the likes of the Joan d’Anguera estate to the fore.
