Castell d’Encus, Costers del Segre, Talarn, Catalunya

Castell d’Encus is a very exciting project from Raül Bobet, following his time with Torres. In 2001, whilst searching for land in the foothills of the Catalan Pyrenées, Raül discovered a stunning estate at almost 1,000m above sea level dating back to the 12^th century. Farming organically, he chose to plant 23 hectares of of the classic grapes varieties. Inspired by his discovery of 9 medieval rock fermenters in the vineyards, Raül restored them back into working order and now ferments several wines in them, embedded in the rocky hillsides. The results are amazing: high natural acidity, superb length and mouth feel, with both reds and whites receiving a great deal of critical praise.

The deep ruby Costers del Segre 'Acusp' Castell d’Encus has well-defined aromas of red berries, jasmine and an underlying note of earth, game and white pepper. Superbly elegant on the palate, with a crisp acidity and fine grained tannins, culminating with a long, complex finish.
