Tossal d’en Bou 2021 Centenarian Garnacha 750ml
"The summit of centenarian Garnacha: a sensory experience reserved for those who seek extreme delicacy and the exclusivity of a vineyard with more than a century of history."
Purity of Old Vines on the Roof of Poboleda
Tossal d’en Bou 2021 is a masterpiece of precision born in the highest plots of Poboleda. Originally planted in 1902 on licorella soils, this pure Garnacha redefines the extreme elegance of Priorat. Under the direction of Mas Doix, this wine offers unexpected freshness and a mineral depth that only time can bestow, with an ethereal 16-month ageing that respects the absolute transparency of the landscape.

2. Sommelier Notes
Appearance: Translucent, bright ruby colour. It reflects the intrinsic elegance of old-vine grapes and the absence of over-extraction.
Nose: Overwhelming delicacy. Crunchy red fruit (pomegranate, sour cherry), dried rose petals, blood orange and a very crisp, pure slate minerality.
Palate: A silky entry of astonishing verticality. It presents an ethereal texture with polished tannic energy. A finish of saline mineral freshness and a kilometre-long persistence.

Temperature: Ideally serve at 16°C.
5. Why is it a cult piece?
- Extreme Elegance: It represents the most sophisticated face of world Garnacha, moving away from alcoholic power in search of vibrancy.
- 1902 Legacy: Only the grapes from the family's most exalted plot make it into this very limited-production bottling.
