Description

Sur les versants des montagnes qui entourent le domaine, on cultive principalement du Monastrell (ou Mourvèdre), de la Syrah et du Grenache. De style très méditerranéen, Las Gravas est aussi le vin le plus minéral du domaine. Le Grenache lui apporte une grande fraîcheur et relègue au second plan la puissance et la concentration habituelles des vins de la zone. The Wine Advocate le considère comme un des 3 meilleurs vins de l'appellation.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"The 2015 Las Gravas is a classic Mediterranean blend of Monastrell with 15% each Garnacha and Syrah, with 15% alcohol after fermenting with part of full clusters and indigenous grapes and aging in used oak barrels for 19 months. 2015 is the last vintage that Las Gravas has some Syrah, as it adds some sweet fruit he wants to avoid. However, it shows fresh within the balsamic profile, with plenty of rosemary and thyme notes combined with floral undertones and the character of the esparto grass and tree bark that are textbook descriptors of the variety. 32,000 bottles were filled in June 2017."

Suckling:

Plenty of blackberry character with hints of spice and hazelnut. Full body, some dusty tannins and a flavorful finish. Try in 2019.
