Quest 2017

The production of Quest was the result of a long search. Mr. Raül Bobet, one of Spain’s most internationally acclaimed winemakers, had been looking for a place located between 850 and 1000 metres above sea level, where altitude could counteract the effects of climate change.

Finally, he found it in Castell d’Encús, a former settlement of the Hospitaller monks – also known as the Knights of Malta –  located in the southern slope of the Pre-Pyrenees, a region in DO Costers del Segre. Amazingly, the place still has several open-air stone vats dating back from the 12th century and dug by the monks themselves.

A true internationalist, Mr. Bobet crafted this Spanish red wine from a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot.

Manually harvested in little boxes, the grapes of this red wine from Costers del Segre were fermented in the open-air stone vats, in the midst of a pristine, unspoiled natural environment.

After that, Quest 2017 was aged for 17 months in French oak barrels. The wine was not filtered or stabilized before its bottling.

Decant this wine at least 30 minutes before drinking.

4,500 bottles produced.
