Sindicat la Figuera "Garnatxa" Rojo, Montsant, Spain 2021

THE WINE: 100% Garnatxa

The 2021 vintage is the most productive vintage of the last 5 years This fact makes us particularly happy if we compare it with the last two vintages which were very complicated (the heat waves of 2019 and the mildew of 2020). In addition, this increase in production was accompanied by a good sanitary condition of the grapes, guaranteeing the quality of the wines produced in the Sindicat

THE PRODUCER: Sindicat La Figuera is the recovery of an illusion, a project of 6 farmers from La Figuera. A unique village in Montsant, with a very special characteristics: located in the highest point of the region – 550m-, their garnatxa vines –the only varietal– planted in goblet and ages between 30 and 80 years old stand out for their personality and particularity.

The freshness of the altitude gives its wines hints of citrus and flowers that are not found in other wines in the area. If we add their traditional way of making wine in underground concrete tanks, here is the result: a light and fresh wine.
