Gran Muralles Red Wine
Ancestral vines
This wine takes its name from the walls that protected the monastery at Poblet during the Mercenary Wars.
Grapes: Mainly Garnacha, Monastrell, Querol, Cariñena and Garró.
The unmistakeable identity of Grans Muralles is thanks to the stony, slate ground (Licorella) of the region. The grape varieties used to make it. One century after the phyloxera plague the Torres family have begun to recuperate autoctonous grape varieties believed to be extinct, such as Garró and Querol, using modern viticultural techniques. Together with red Garnacha, Cariñena and Monastrell they create the unique spirit of this wine.
