Winemaker Notes

LaFou El Sender has a deep red colour with ruby luminosity. It awakens with a wide range of aromas, with equal sensations of volume, maturity and freshness. It is in this freshness that notes of black berry and light balsamic emerge, on a bed of Kermes oak, dried flowers that form a fragrant environment of great volume and personality that resonates with Terra Alta. On the palate it is marked by the convincing lightness of black grenache. Is a wine in which the freshness-volume duality goes hand-in-hand, with a refreshing and filling sensation on the palate. These sensations cause hints of fresh fruit combined with spices and liquorice to interplay with the mouth-watering sweetness and slight tannicity that form the overall structure.

Beyond the usual suspects, there are hundreds of red grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines, while others are better suited for use as blending grapes. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles, offering much to be discovered by the curious wine lover. In particular, Portugal and Italy are known for having a multitude of unique varieties but they can really be found in any region.
