Com Tu, Montsant

The property where this magic occurs is called Miramar, located at 580m. above sea level. The vines are 100% Garnacha, mostly between 35-50 years old and some are even centennial. The soil is mostly red clay and has a bit of limestone. On the land, apart from vines, we can also find almond and apple trees and a small farmhouse. The 2016 harvest was very promising, after a slow and delicate but effective eighteen months fermentation. This gave the wine its complexity; mineral force together with a light orange peel fragrance and a taste that reminds us of red berries (cherries, strawberries,…).

Com Tu, Montsant 2020	94 James Suckling An intellectual garnacha that is in the league as Comando G and Terroir Al Limit. Super fresh and tangy with twists of white pepper, mezcal, red berries and chalk. Fresh, medium acidity on the palate with fine, juicy tannins. 100% garnacha. Drink now. 93 Wine Advocate 2020 was a very unusual year in Priorat/Montsant, rainy and warm with lots of mildew that decimated the crop, but less in the village of La Figuera than elsewhere, and here they lost around 20% of the volume. The 2020 Com Tu comes through as a little riper and with a darker profile of fruit than the 2019 despite having the same alcohol on the label (14.5%). It matured in well-seasoned 4,500-liter oak foudres even though they have already experimented with tinaja and even some glass demijohn, which will increase in 2021 (it was a small portion in 2020, but they feel it works for warmer years). The wine keeps the poise despite the difficulties from the year. 9,000 bottles produced.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
Com Tu, Montsant 2021	94+ Wine Advocate There is a change in image in the 2021 Com Tu, a village red from La Figuera in Montsant, with a label that is similar to the one from the new rosé, a drawing of the village. They used a high percentage of full clusters, and it matured in an old 5,000-liter foudre for one year and then fine-tuned in concrete. It is super floral and perfumed, completely different from Clos Mogador, with a light extraction, a pale color, and contained ripeness and alcohol (14%), with the sapidity from the limestone soils and very fine chalky tannins. 13,000 bottles produced. They have planted more vines and purchased some older ones to increase the volume in the future. 93 Vinous The 2021 Com Tu is 100% Garnatxa sourced from La Figuera, a small town high in the Montsant mountains that is home to many old vines. Fermented with 30% whole clusters and aged for a year in foundres and concrete, this garnet wine reveals garrigue-like aromas with a sour cherry core and a reductive character. Dry and silky, it offers a compact mouthfeel that enhances the flavors, leading to a lingering and nuanced finish. The cool 2021 vintage contributed to a leaner palate	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
