Finca Parera - Faust 2019

Finca Parera - Faust 2019

£27.00

A deeper, contemplative red from Sant Llorenç d’Hortons, showing the more structured, age-worthy side of the estate. The nose is layered and composed — black cherry, dried plum and wild blackberry wrapped in Mediterranean herbs, tobacco leaf and a gentle cedar spice. On the palate, it is poised and architectural: firm yet polished tannins, vibrant acidity and a savoury mineral thread that keeps the wine lifted despite its depth. Equal parts Sumoll, Garnatxa, Ull de Llebre, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot create a balance between freshness and gravitas. Mediterranean in soul, disciplined in structure.

Vinification

Hand-harvested in small crates. Whole berries (without stems) undergo a short pre-fermentation maceration in cement at controlled temperature, followed by spontaneous fermentation with skins until dry. The free-run wine is drained by gravity. Aged for around one year in old 400L French oak barrels, then two years in underground cement vats, followed by an additional year refining in bottle before release. Bottled on a descending moon, unfined, unfiltered and without additions.

Natural sediment may appear — a reflection of respectful, minimal-intervention winemaking.

A serious, quietly powerful red built for reflection and graceful ageing.
