La Vinya del Vuit 2014
La Vinya del Vuit 2014. La Vinya del Vuit (The Wine of the Eight) was founded in 2001 by a group of eight friends; Sara Perez , Rene Barbier IV, Ester Nin, Nuria Perez, Montse Mateos, Iban Foix, Julien and Philippe Thévenon Basté.
The wine is a blend of 70% Carignane and 30% Grenache, hand harvested in the early dawn hours and rushed to the winery in small refrigerated trucks. After a partial crush, the wine is allowed to ferment naturally on its own yeasts in 500-Lt open-top casks. A second crush is then performed and the wine is left to ferment slowly for up to another month before being racked (gravity only) into 2nd and 3rd year 300-Lt French and Austrian oak barriques where it rests for 18 months before a final racking and bottling. After a further 2 years of bottle aging, the wines is released, and (of course) packaged 8 bottles to a case.
