Tasting notes
The 2021 Brut Nature Intens Rosat is 88% Monastrell and 12% Garnatxa Negra, aged 31 months. Mediterranean in style, it displays rose, cherry and a hint of vermouth on the nose. Dry and serious with a lightly granular texture supported by the mousse, it is an original and distinctive Rosé that marks new territory in Penedès.

The intense rosé, neatly named 2021 Intens Rosat, has a dark pink color and is a wine that has grown in seriousness in the last few years and reached a new peak in 2021. It was produced with a blend of 88% Monastrell and 12% Garnacha from two small vineyards from the family. It macerated for six hours and had a short aging in oak and was produced with the traditional method of second fermentation in bottle and with a long aging, 31 months (they hope to extend it to 40 months). It has a primary nose with red berries and herbs, some toast and yeasty and leesy notes. What I liked the most is the serious and chalky palate—bone dry and with echoes from the limestone soils—and the sapid finish. 13,900 bottles produced. It was disgorged in October 2024.
