Garnacha from 100 year old vines in Valdeponzos, Najerilla Valley. Lighly extracted and a year aging in casks, mirroring how they do it in Burgundy for a slept on, softer portayal of Rioja.
Full-bodied Tempranillo with significant oak aging before release. Much of the fresh fruit flavours are supplanted with leather and spice and the wine has strong tannin.
Full-bodied Tempranillo with dark berry fruit and strong tannins. Good acidity from a high vineyard elevation keeps this wine tasting fresh. The Red table wine to go with weeknight dinners.
Located in Terra Alta in the south of Catalonia, all Casa Mariol wines are organic and certified vegan, with plantings of both native spanish grapes and international varaties like Cabernet and Merlot. This Cab Sauv has aromas of blackberry, gooseberry, pepper and clove. Smoky notes with touches of dried fruit, vanilla and toffee. The tannins are soft and make it a good match for fattier foods but tamed enough to have on it's own.
Low-temperature fermentation, with slight barrel ageing to enhance its aroma. Despite being a low acid grape, Casa Mariol does a good job at mainting freshness, which keeps the intense rasberry flavours tasting freshly picked. On the other hand, theres some dried fig, toffee and spice to colour the fruit with savoury qualities.
Casa Mariols take on something more reminiscent of Catalunya, while Cariñena (Carignan) can be a hard grape to find sometimes, in Terra Alta it's something the locals drink everyday. The grape has a unique cured meat quality, which marries with tobacco leaf scents. With tart cranberry and rasberry fruit it's hard not to fall in love.
