Els Vinyerons 'Saltamarti' Alt Penedes Tempranillo 2021 | Catalunya, Spain
$39.00 AUD
Tasting Notes

A fresh and delicate Tempranillo from the inland mountains of Alt Penedès.

Darkly fruited, with plum, currant, raspberry, and cherry aromatics but balanced in flavour with savoury notes of pepper, spice, balsamic tone, a touch of astringency, and stony earth.

Delicately smooth on the palate with a fine line of rustic chewy tannin, balanced by fresh acidity, medium bodied and dry, with a clean finish.
Nerd Notes

Saltamarti translates as "grasshopper". Els Vinyerons names their wines after insects as a tribute to the insects that inhabit the vineyards, as a symbol of a healthy and well-balanced ecosystem.

Tempranillo from Alt Penedès in Catalunya, Spain. The fruit comes from a vineyard with well-draining sandy-limestone soils.

Hand harvested fruit, soft maceration and pressed, before spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts and malolactic fermentation.

The majority (90%) of grapes come from this vintage and are aged for 4 months in stainless steel, with the remaining 10% coming from the previous vintage and are aged for a year in 300L French oak barrels.

Bottled with no added sulphur.
