Claret 2023
Larural
Grape Variety: Macabeo, Sumoll, Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo)
Producer: Larural (Xavi & Andreu Padró Mon)
Region: Santes Creus, Alt Camp, Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain
Wild Scale: 4/5
Vegan friendly wine
10% alcohol
Winemaking: Organic grapes were harvested by hand. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Bottled with no fining, filtration or added sulphur.
This Wine: Dark pink in the glass but just about qualifies as a rosé in our opinion. Made from a blend of red and white grapes, you can expect a juicy and fruity character someone reminiscent of Kool Aid Fruit Punch (maybe just us). A very fun wine for Summer and only 10% in alcohol.
Notes on the Winemaker: Larural is the project of two brothers, Xavi and Andreu in the Tarragona province of Catalonia. The took over their relatively large family estate of 32 hectares and everything has been farmed organically since 2015. They sell some grapes to local winemakers and produce their own cuvées using native grape varieties and without the addition of sulphur. Honest and expressive wines that offer great value for money.
