Grape varieties: Carignan (85%) and Garnacha (15%).
The grapes for Socarrats come from vineyards northwest of Gratallops, where over 40-year-old Carignan vines grow alongside a small number of younger Grenache plants. Harvest took place by hand on September 16, 2020, with grapes carefully collected and refrigerated overnight. After complete destemming, the must underwent a 23-day cold maceration before pressing. The wine was then aged for 11 months in concrete tanks prior to bottling.
Yields from these vineyards are extremely low, resulting in only 1,200 bottles of this wine.
In the glass, Socarrats shows a deep, dark color. The nose opens with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, herbs, and a distinct minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet elegant, with no oak influence, allowing the fruit to dominate. Vibrant acidity and fine structure carry through to a long, persistent finish, making this wine a pure and expressive reflection of its origin.
