Cherry color with a garnet border. Aromas of mature red fruit, with wild herbs, mineral notes and spices. Potent in the mouth with delicious fruit and a touch of balsamic. 
The goal with Gotes, (which means "droplets" in Catalan) is freshness. Organically farmed grapes are picked and fermented to show the minerality of the site and the fresher fruit profile of the wine. Thus, the wine has good natural acidity, which makes it ideal for hearty foods and cellaring.
Slate soils on north and northwest facing hillside slopes. Hand picked from mid Sept. to 2nd week Oct. Organically farmed Grapes harvested in perfect health and maturation. Fermented in Stainless steel and barreled for 9 months in French oak.
Production: 1,000 cases
