BUY THIS WITH
Tanca els Ulls, situated in a small village southwest of Barcelona, is the project of winemaker Francesc Boronat who in 2014 took over the family's estate with the aim to recuperate the old vineyards formerly farmed by his grandfather.
Single vineyard of 1.5 ha; 80 year-old vines planted on clay and river pebbles (galets). The vineyard is surrounded by Mediterranean forest, 200m above sea level (considered highland, given how close they are to the sea).
Hand-harvested; grape selection happens in the vineyard. Fully skin-fermented for 20 days, with 20% stem inclusion, in stainless steel.
Aged on those same stems and lees for six months, 40% of juice in amphora and 60% in steel. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, small dose of SO2 added at bottling. 225 cases made.
