Terroir Sense Fronteres Vèrtebra de la Figuera is a distinguished Spanish wine hailing from Montsant, Catalan. Flourishing in the soulful, mountainous terroir, this wine boasts a rich character, velvety texture and deep crimson hue, revealing a delicate fusion of red and black fruits. The subtle undercurrents of Mediterranean herbs and spices, alongside balsamic and mineral notes, give it a well-rounded complexity. Made primarily from Grenache grapes, the wine matures in old French barrels, possessing a meticulous balance of fresh acidity and Mascarell's unique intensity. This wine encapsulates the true essence of Catalan wine culture.

Tasting Notes

The cool Grenache fruit radiates elegance and altitude - nearly Alpine in its precision - and just a hint of attitude. Aromas of smoky black fruits, ripe blackberries and crunchy pomegranate mingle with accents of licorice and fresh forest herbs. The elegant palate opens into a wild ride of sun-soaked fruits, chalky cool nights and tremendous structured concentration. A persistent acidity courses through the wine just below the surface like an underground stream. Fine tannins shape and  hone the taut body into the picture of refinement.
