‘Sang de Corb' 

Grenache Noir, Carignan & Lledoner Pelut, Terra Alta, Spain

A superbly spiced, structured and herbaceous Catalonian red blend. Brothers Francesc and Joan Ferré are part of a two century long line of grape farmers, making energetic natural wines in the Terra Alta appellation of Catalonia. The grapes for ‘Sang de Corb’ or “crow’s blood” come from the family’s "El Dellà del Riu” plot, and are over 65 years old, planted between almond, apple and olive trees on clay-limestone soils. A blend of co-fermented, grenache noir, lledoner pelut (also called hairy grenache!) and carignan, aged for a year in foudres and demi johns to bring us to a place of supple scrumptiousness. Peppercorn, chica, chica cherry cola, a silken texture, liquorice root, woody herbs, prickly acidity, violets, spiced prunes & a light toast. Pour alongside roasts, beef gravy and hasselback potatoes.
