The rosé 2021 Gratallops Vi de Villa Rosat was produced with a majority (70% to 80%) in the Planassos part between Mogador and Manyetes of Garnacha, Macabeo and Cariñena plus the grapes from younger vines (Mogador, Nelin…). It has a bright salmon color and a very different and characterful nose, savory, reminiscent of chicken broth (salty!), herbal and super tasty. It’s quite direct, with 13.5% alcohol and very good freshness, a bit atypical for Priorat, very long, precise, clean and dry. This matured in a 2,000-liter 10-year-old oak foudre for 18 months. They produced some 3,000 bottles. Brilliant! 94 Points, Robert Parker – Wine Advocate

Floral scents of frangipani and lemon blossom with candied ginger, lime juice, just-ripe pineapple and tonic water. Similar to taste with a slipperiness to texture that feels well metered by the building crispness of the finish. More […]

My absolute favourite grenache producer in Australia, demolishing all cliches and stereotypes of South Australian grenache and red wines in general. It’s hard to believe that he (Mark Bulman) used to make Turkey Flat rose, the wines are so different. Pale in colour, refreshing, crisp and dry. Red summer fruits, sweet and tangy, with a […]

A mineral staining lingers while the 2022 finishes fresh and with a crunchy sensation.’ Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023. Substantially Cabernet Franc (80%), with some Grolleau (20%), […]
