HK$ 358.37
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The red 2022 Vèrtebra was produced with Garnacha Fina, a biotype with larger grapes and thinner skins that produce elegant wines, from the village of La Figuera de Montsant. The vines are at 600 meters above sea level on pink clay and gypsum soils. It has 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.49 with 5.4 grams of acidity. This is a little more reductive, more serious and reticent and takes time in the glass to open up. It has a pale and bright ruby color and a medium-bodied palate with certain lightness and very fine tannins. It's elegant and balanced. They think of this as their Pinot Noir. 6,600 bottles were filled in April 2023.

Description
Terroir Sense Fronteres Vèrtebra de la Figuera is a red wine that seeks to capture the unique minerality and soul of Montsant. This region, which surrounds Priorat, is known for its special Grenache vineyards that grow on its complex hills.
Garnacha Fina, a local variety of Garnacha with larger berries and thinner skins, thrives on the high plateau 600 metres above sea level on the Figuera mountain. These vineyards, rich in red clay and gypsum, are home to old vines that are between 40 and 80 years old. In these late ripening sites, they give the wine an elegance and purity almost similar to Pinot Noir.
Winemaking
Fermentation is carried out in cement tanks with up to 10 days of skin maceration, and then aged for a further 8 months in cement tanks.
Taste
In Terroir Sense Fronteres Vèrtebra de la Figuera the fresh Grenache flavour radiates elegance and altitude, almost alpine in its precision, with a slight touch of attitude. Aromas of smoky black fruits, ripe blackberries and crisp pomegranate mingle with accents of liquorice and fresh forest herbs. The elegant palate unfolds into an exciting mix of sun-kissed fruit, cool, chalky nights and tremendous structured concentration. A lingering acidity flows through the wine, like an underground stream. Fine tannins shape and sharpen the taut body, turning it into a picture of refinement.
