Oriol Artigas - El Rumbero Tinto
Another incredibly tasty wine from this winemaker in the Catalonia region. This vintage is 100% Garnatxa Negra from 2 vineyards on granitic sands. Fermented whole cluster in mostly stainless steel tanks and rested in the same vessels.
Fresh, light-bodied but elegant with bright red fruit aromas and on the palate is vibrant and expressive, with pomegranate, ripe raspberries and lightly peppery notes.
Oriol over-arching philosophy is to “cultivate the vineyards in the most natural and least interventionist way possible, to allow the grapes to express in the most intense way the landscape from which they come.” He works about 12 hectares in total, mostly of old vines. He allows vegetation to grow between the vines, prunes very little, and works the vineyards primarily along the lunar calendar. In the winery, fermentations are completely spontaneous, aging is primarily done in steel vats, and sulfur is never used at any point in his process.
