Aromas of red fruit with mineral, menthol, and licorice notes. On the palate, it is expressive, round, and creamy, with delicate tannins. Its flavor reflects fresh fruit, with a long and elegant finish. Desti is an honest and coherent wine, as the expression of fresh fruit is reborn on the palate. The finish is long and elegant.

Desti 2022 combines perfectly with rather lean dishes: a coca de trempo with prawns; a turbot baked in a wood oven with potato millefeuille monalisa and Iberian ham. It is also ideal to accompany grilled red meats painted with aromatic herbs.

60% Grenache, 30% Carignan, 10% Syrah aged in 100% French oak. Medium toast. Third use.

All the harvested grapes are destemmed, led to macerateee and fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless-steel vats. Afte three weeks with manual pumping over, grapes are gently pressed using a pneumatic horizontal press and are devatted by gravity. Once pressed, the wine is transferred to 500 l medium toast barrels, new and of second use. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 18 months in the same barrels, after which it is blended and bottled. Desti 2022 is neither filtered nor fined and evolves in bottle for 6 months before being released from the winery.

Full bodied while mouthwatering, this bold and exuberant Grenache delivers a combination of dried cranberries, cherries, and Mediterranean spices. Tannins are silken carrying through a long finish. Enjoy with mountain stews, Jamón, and firm cheeses. -E.C.B

Spicy and peppery nose, with attractive peppercorns, ripe berries, currants and cherries. Flavorful and medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and a medium-long finish. Vegan.
