Sang de Drac means “Dragon’s Blood” and it refers to the legend of Sant Jordi (Saint George), the patron saint of Catalonia, who killed a dragon and a rose grew from the soil spotted with his blood.

Grape: Ull de Llebre (Catalan clone of the Tempranillo)

Vineyard: Sandy Loam, limestone. 300 m ALS, planted in 1993 and 1998. Estate-owned, certified organic.

Making of: spontaneous fermentation and 10 days maceration. Pressing and wild malolactic fermentation in underground tanks. Aged 30 months in underground tanks and 12 months in chestnut barrels. Bottled without fining or filtration.

Personality: a classical red, with intense aromas of red fruits and a tertiary touch of balsamico and earth. Pleasantly round with silky texture, definitely a good table companion for all hearty dishes. Good aging potential.
