Silvestris
2022
Organic and natural wine born in Priorat. Wine in its purest state.
Wild, natural and Nature’s faithful one. Gratavinum Silvestris is a natural wine, just as it was elaborated thousands of years ago: fermented with the wild yeast of the grape and with any additional substance. It comes from ecological vineyards that have never received any chemical substance’s aggression, maximum expression of the earth’s natural essence.

Dark garnet colour with violet hints.
It is intense at the nose, dominated by fruity notes of ripe red and black high-purity with mineral and forest notes background
Enters the mouth with great breadth, combining ripe fruit with balanced acidity and volume. Long and persistent, it can be distinguished for its great intensity and purity in all areas.
“Super ripe, with some meaty, animal notes and a hint of iodine and iron. Big and concentrated, but with Carignan’s trademark sour twang and funkiness. A bit smoky and dusty as it opens up to the finish, but overall a great wine showing lots of regional and varietal typicity.”
