Conca de Barberà DO Grans Muralles 2018 Torres

Grans Muralles is an excellent red wine produced by Familia Torres in the Conca de Barberà area of Catalonia. It is named after the ancient walls that protected the monastery of Poblet and stands out for highlighting almost extinct native grapes such as Garró and Querol, alongside more well-known varieties like Garnacha, Cariñena, and Monastrell. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 445 and 470 meters on soils rich in slate and granite gravel, giving the wine a unique character and minerality.

The winemaking process takes place in small stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature fermentation and a long maceration on the skins to encourage a delicate extraction. Aging continues for about 18 months in fine-grained, predominantly new French oak barrels, selected to enhance the complexity and balance of the wine while preserving the expressive purity of the native grapes.

The wine presents an intense red color with garnet reflections. The nose reveals complex aromas of berries, Mediterranean herbs, sweet spices, and an elegant mineral note. On the palate, it is powerful and refined, with well-polished tannins, a solid structure, and a persistent finish that reflects the identity of the territory and the personality of the varieties used.

It pairs perfectly with stews, game, or rich dishes from the Catalan gastronomic tradition.
