Serres Velles Garnatxa is one of the most emblematic wines from Finca Montrubí. Made from organic black Grenache, it was recently featured in an article in the La Vanguardia‘s Comer section, which highlights its elegance, authenticity, and deep connection to the Mediterranean landscape: “it stands out for its elegance, character, and authentic expression of the Penedès,” they describe, and it surprises with its organoleptic profile of “great aromatic intensity, smooth tannins, and silky texture.”
The article also delves into the winemaking process, emphasizing the importance of manual harvesting, fermentation with native yeasts, and six months of aging in French oak barrels.
The text also acknowledges Finca Montrubí’s commitment to organic viticulture, a philosophy that results in “an honest wine, with identity, reflecting both the variety and the character of its natural surroundings.” This value has been recognized both in and outside of Catalonia, with notable mentions in the Parker Guide, which praised its “authenticity, balance, and aging potential.” It is described as “one of the finest Catalan red wines of the moment.”
Serres Velles Garnatxa is a versatile, food-friendly wine, ideal for grilled meats, mountain-style rice dishes, or aged cheeses. “It has strength and elegance, and offers a modern take on the Penedès,” the article concludes.
