La Forastera 2016 is a big, deep wine showing lots of black fruit, spice and a wonderful herbaceous tannin that provides a lovely length and freshness. 100% Merlot from the Penedes Mountains this is the perfect accompaniment to a hearty meat dish or stew. Lovely stuff !
Esteve i Gibert
Esteve i Gibert’s story is like many of the others in this region, with the newest generation - Laura and Albert - taking over from their parents and converting practices in the vineyards to hands-off organic viticulture and working in the cellar without an over-reliance on sulphur or, for that matter, any of the other products in the modern oenological arsenal. With 19 hectares (relatively small for this part of Penédes) on the sunny slopes of the Ordal mountains, these are wines that sing of a very particular, very delicious Catalan sensibility
