Cabernet Sauvignon Amfora
Clot de les Soleres
£23.50
A impressive and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon from Catalunya, Spain. The vines were planted in 1999, the grapes are de-stemmed, pressed and left to macerate on skin for 12 days. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks before the wine is passed to clay amphora, from Padilla in Villerobledos, where it rests for 13 months. Unfined, unfiltered, no sulphur added.
Deep Black fruits, dried herbs and green olive tapenade. Tannic, powerful yet well-balanced and approachable.

Clot de les Soleres
Carles Mora Ferrer’s family made wine in Piera up until the 60s, when small scale winemaking became unprofitable, and sadly the vineyard was abandoned. Decades later, a young Carles planted just a few rows of Cabernet Sauvignon vines on the family plot, with a view to make an amphora aged wine from a chemical-free vineyard, with zero additives. In the years following this, Carles and Montse planted Chardonnay as well as the indigenous Catalan varietals Macabeo and Xarel-lo. They farm without chemicals or fertilisers in the vineyard, with the exception of a little sulphur and copper which they use amongst the vines in minimal quantities and only when necessary. All of their wines are made with nothing added in cellar.
