Gauby Muntada

183,80 €

Muntada is the great wine of the French south, a wine that can stand proudly next to the best Burgundies. For Gerard Gauby, the single-vineyard Muntada is his grand cru vineyard. This wine achieves stunning ripeness and power without sacrificing any of its freshness. Trees among the vineyards for shade, biodynamic farming, old vineyards and northern exposures contribute to this amazing balance. Muntada is a benchmark for the Roussillon vineyard. A wine for which fine lines and delicacy are as important as ripeness, power and intensity. A true work of art with many different layers.

More info

Old pre-phylloxera vines of Grenache and Carignan along with Syrah make up the great trio of varieties in the Muntada blend. The winemaking is old-fashioned with native yeasts, concrete tanks and maturation in old foudres for eighteen months. Muntada has excellent depth and intensity while managing to maintain its characteristic elegance. It is a “raw” representation of the potential of this great terroir. A combination of dried fruit, such as black currant, and the aromas of the Mediterranean countryside, with dried herbs and flowers. There is no make-up of any kind in the wine, the barrel only gave extra textures and no aromas at all. So the palate is generous and rich but extremely structured and full of energy. Muntada's ageing potential exceeds twenty years.
