"The summit of time and stone: a masterful blend where the finesse of ripe fruit melts into an elegant mineral and balsamic complexity."
Roc Nu: The Balance of Patience in Untamed Lands
The Roc Nu 2012 Red Wine 750ml is the flagship label of the Clos Pons winery, of limited production, conceived to show the cellaring potential of the Les Garrigues region in the D.O. Costers del Segre. Its name evokes the bareness of the rock in its mountain vineyards, located between 500 and 700 meters above sea level, in an environment of extreme climate, poor soils and very scarce rainfall. Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha and Tempranillo from organic vineyards, this wine has rested both in French oak barrels and in the silence of the bottle.

Palate: A regal, sumptuous entry with splendid volume. The palate is dense, rich in glycerin and soft thanks to tannins polished by the years, with lively acidity and a round, persistent finish.
