A rosé from the gray variety Xarel.lo Vermell, the 2022 Escabeces partly fermented with the skins for two to three weeks and the rest as semi-carbonic, matured in old barrels and amphorae for some eight months. It has a deep orange color and an expressive nose. It has notes of red berries and sweet spices, Mediterranean with aromas of dry straw and a serious, dry and tasty palate. It has moderate ripeness and 12.5% alcohol and is balanced, with a dry and clean finish. It’s kept in bottle for one year before it’s released. It’s now sold without the Tarragona appellation. 6,700 bottles were filled in May 2023.
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
Region
Cataluna
The beautiful Spanish wine region of Catalunya has a history of viticulture which stretches back for over a thousand years, and has been influenced by a wide range of people who moved through the region, and brought their wine making skills and expertise with them. The region itself is a sizeable one, covering an area of sixty thousand hectares, and within this space there resides over two hundred individual wineries, ranging from small, independent and traditional ones to the larger, mass production bodegas known around the world. The terroir of Catalunya is varied, and ranges from being dry and arid, to more lush and green in the wetter parts of the region which are closer to the coast. This variation in terroir results in a fantastic range of grape varietals being grown, and a wide range of wine styles are produced within Catalunya.
