Lo Morenillo 2020

Tasting: Making wine in the far south of Cataluña, Vins del Tros since 2009 have set out to make wines that are the truest essence of Terra Alta. Morenillo is an indigenous grape variety, almost extinct that Vins del Tros have been instrumental in reviving and securing its acceptance into the permitted varieties under the D.O. This is an exceptional and beguiling wine, light in body, exceptionally complex and expressive, an explosion of aromas on the nose, fruits of the forest, boysenberries and musky lilac petals. The palate reveals layers of flavour for days, delicate, subtle and nuanced, freshly picked ripe wild strawberries, soft, plush morello cherries, blueberry and a deliciously silky texture round out for a sensationally long finish.
