Tasting Notes: 

Intense aromas of ripe fruits and compote, with subtle notes of oak on the nose and a citrus touch. Full bodied, round with a good weight of fruit and a smooth, creamy palate. Good, balanced acidity. Delicius now, but will continue to improve for a few years.
 

BODEGA ESCODA-SANAHUJA

Joan Ramon Escoda and Carmen Sanahuja, farmers, wine growers, and wine makers, started in 1997 using organic farming methods, and as of 2003, they are following the biodynamic methods of agriculture on their land. They are members of the Natural Wine Producers Association as well as the Mediterranean Biodynamic Work Group.
They use indigenous wine yeast for grape fermentation, and they do not filter, clarify, or stabilise their wines in any way to fully respect the values of the fruit and of nature. Since the 2007 harvest, they have also been making their wines with no added sulphur.
