The red blend 2018 Grans Muralles was produced with 41% Cari?ena, 39% Garnacha, 10% Querol, 5% Monastrell and 5% Garró. This is the first wine where they used the recovered ancestral varieties Querol and Garró. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in new 300-liter French barriques and new 1,500-liter oak foudres for six months and then moved to second-use 500-liter barrel and 1,500-liter foudres, where the wine matured for a further 10 months, but the Cari?ena and Monastrell had less time in wood. It has 14.22% alcohol and a low pH of 3.35, denoting good freshness. It is very aromatic and floral, expressive, fruit-driven, elegant and quite cool, as the mountains stop the warm winds from the Mediterranean. It has very good freshness. The oak is neatly integrated and folded into the fruit, the tannins are fine, and the wine comes through as balanced and medium-bodied. Really very good, the finest vintage so far and one of the highlights of the tasting. I tasted the earlier vintages and they showed more oak and tannins, and some vintages still need more time. The 2018 is more harmonious and balanced. 6,000 bottles, 172 magnums and 21 Jeroboams produced. It was bottled in November 2020.
