Grans Muralles DO 2016 - Miguel Torres

Miguel Torres' Grans Muralles is an excellent and expressive red wine cuvée made from Monastrell, Samsó, Carinena, Garró and Garnacha grapes.

This Spanish red wine presents itself in a dense, dark garnet red. The bouquet exudes expressive notes of ripe plums and juicy blackberries. The aromas of toasted bread are rounded off with light, finely spicy notes of liquorice and black pepper.

The taste, which is characterised by a rich aromatic fullness, clearly shows the impressive potential of an outstanding location and the noble origin of this wine. This red wine is silky smooth, full-bodied and pampers the palate with delicious chocolate notes. The soft tannin is perfectly integrated into the excellent structure. Grans Muralles is an excellent top-quality red wine with a dreamlike length.
