Furvus 2021 astonishes with its immediate aromatic expressiveness, unveiling wild blackberries, ripe blueberries, and succulent red plums. Gradually, the wine unfolds in the glass, revealing spicy and citrus undertones along with herbal reminiscences of rosemary and lavender. On the palate, flavors of luscious ripe raspberries are complemented by invigorating balsamic notes. Furvus 2021 is a red wine that marries the opulence of fruit, the intricacy of its bouquet, and the vivacity of its acidity in a harmonious symphony exuding a delightful Mediterranean character.

Characteristics Vinyes Domènech Furvus
Furvus is a red wine from the Montsant produced by Vinas Domenech, a winery that was founded in 2002 as part of the Domènech family.
The climate in this area of the Montsant is Mediterranean but with continental influences. The mountains act as a natural barrier to maritime influence and this causes a large thermal contrast between day and night. The minimum annual average temperature is 7 ° C and the maximum is 20. This climate is characterized by cold winters and hot dry summers. This wine is a blend of Grenache (80%) and Merlot (20%) from old vines planted in Caçanes, 450-500 metres above sea level, on calcareous clay soil. Biodynamic and organic viticulture is practiced, certified by the Catalan Council of Ecological Agricultural Production (CCPA) As for processing, after harvesting and stripping is carried out, alcoholic fermentation occurs for 12 days at a temperature of less than 29ºC. Furvus spends 12 months in new French oak barrels (50%) and American oak barrels (50%) either one or 2 years old.

Wine is drinking beautifully now. Took about a half hour in the glass to open up.
