The unmistakable identity of Grans Muralles is thanks to the stony, slate ground (Licorella) of the region, and the grape varieties used to make it. One century after the phyloxera plague the Torres family have begun to recuperate grape varieties believed to be extinct, such as Garró and Samsó, using modern viticultural techniques. Together with red Garnacha, Mazuelo and Monastrell they create the unique spirit of this wine.
The 2009 Gran Muralles is a blend of Garnacha, Mazuelo, Monastrell and Garro from 30- to 35-year-old vines in Conca de Barbera. It is aged 18 months in French oak. Deep, dark cherry red. Intense, complex aroma with notes of red fruit and woodland undergrowth. Undertones of toasted aromas and spices. Broad entry on the palate, with good acidity and great length. A well-structured wine with sweet, velvety tannins. The elegant finish reveals great complexity. Drink 2015-2025.
