Torres Torres Clos Ancestral Red 2022 750ml

A simple, ripe Penedes that remains transparent, with bramble berries, dried herbs and ripe red cherries. This is round and balanced, with medium acidity and a medium body on the palate and a textured finish to close. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

The new bright-red 2022 Clos Ancestral has a primary nose, fruit driven, young and fresh, with notes of fruits of the forest and aromatic herbs. It was produced with a blend of the recovered Moneu grape with Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo) and Garnacha Tinta from a dry and warm year. It's a shame that the blend doesn't show the character of the mysterious Moneu, which is said to ripen slowly and keep moderate alcohol and good acidity, but that's lost in a blend. The wine is fresh and delicate, medium-bodied, approachable and elegant, but I'd like to see Moneu on its own... They produced 42,000 liters of this.
