Tasting notes
Dark, bright-rimmed violet. High-pitched red and blue fruit, floral and spice scents on the intensely perfumed, mineral-accented nose. Energetic, appealingly sweet cherry and boysenberry flavors pick up hints of candied flowers and succulent herbs on the back half. The impressively long, penetrating finish echoes the blue fruit and mineral notes and is framed by fine-grained, well-knit tannins.

The 2016 Manyetes Vi de Vila Gratallops combines the rustic personality of the warm place—the slate soils and the old Cariñena vines—and the freshness of the 2016 vintage. It has those telltale notes of graphite and wet slate, some tree bark-like aromas and an earthy touch, intermixed with violets, wild herbs and berries. Simply stunning!
