DO Montsant
For more than 20 years, the Gran Anyada projects in El Montsant have been linked to the Bodega Vendrell Rived de Marçà with great success and the satisfaction of our friends and clients. Now it’s time to appreciate a new project. An organic red wine aged in amphora for more than a year and without added sulphites. A big challenge by Josep Ma Vendrell and Marià Bigordà, Father and Son, which we hope will fully satisfy the expectations for what it was produced. It has been dedicated to the Xalabarder Family, whose son puts music to the wine.

HOW TO SERVE IT
Serve from 16,5-17ºC
Decant the wine half an hour before serving it. Turn the bottle upside down and let the wine splash out of the bottle into the centre of the decanter, then spin it counter-clockwise a couple of times and let it sit.
REMEMBER...
-
Wines are always stored horizontally in a cool place where temperatures don’t go above 18ºC.
-
It is important to open the bottles or decant them before consumption depending on the type of wine.

The colour, its intensity and hue, can define the features and characteristics of the wine.
