Tasting: majority Grenache, this wine boasts floral, fruity and spicy aromas. In the mouth red fruits,
with a cherry and strawberry mix before revealing pepper notes. The roundness of this wine is
supported, as always at Unang, by a healthy acidity.
Terroir: some of the highest vines (up to 350m altitude) at Unang are used for the reds. This wine is
dry but has the natural sweetness of ripe Grenache. Facing east, these vines are on our sandy soils,
below the very highest terraces, giving a softness that works well with the mineral structure of our
ever-present limestone terroir.
Vinification: fermentation of the Grenache begins at low temperatures to provide the maximum of
fruit. Usually, Syrah ferments and macerates longer (up to 3 weeks) to give a little more structure and
support to this fruit-orientated base.
