This is the second vintage of Les Casetes, the latest addition to Josep Grau Viticultor’s wine catalogue and also his most ambitious effort to date.
Mr. Josep Grau sees this one-of-a-kind Spanish red wine, in which he has pushed his Burgundian approach to the extreme, as both a recapitulation of his winemaking career and a door to the future.
A varietal Grenache, this Montsant red wine comes from a single parcel (Paratge de Les Casetes), situated in the village of Capçanes, DO Montsant. Paratge de Les Casetes, incidentally, was the first vineyard acquired by Josep Grau back in 2003.
Situated at 200 metres of altitude and farmed following minimal intervention techniques and organic and biodynamic principles, the parcel has an interesting characteristic: one-half of it, oriented to the north, is composed of limestone soils; the other half, which is south-oriented, has clayey soils.
Hand-harvested and meticulously selected, the grapes were fermented in terracotta amphorae from Tuscany. Then Les Casetes 2021 was transferred into a single 300-litre French oak barrel, where it was aged for 8 months. Finally, it was aged for a further 9 months in the bottle before its commercial release.
Scarcely 400 bottles produced! Grab one while you can!
