This is our particular homage to youth, to its tenacity, to love and to the Garnatxa (Grenache) grape variety. The wine, sourced from our sauló (decomposed granite) soil plots in Falset display delicious fruitiness. The wine is aged in clay pots to maintain it s extraordinary freshness and purity.

The granite soils from Montsant used for the 2021 Dido accentuates more the effect of the years, so this 2021 is sharp, austere and reductive, with a paler color. It has moderate ripeness and 12.8% alcohol, a nuanced and subtle nose with herbal and floral notes, a spicy pinch and a medium-bodied palate with some grainy tannins with a chalky texture. They play a lot with concrete, with about 40% of the volume, and the rest is in oak containers of different sizes, from 300- to 4,000-liter ones. This is a serious, mineral red that transcends its price point. 101,892 bottles and some larger formats were produced. It was bottled between December 2020 and January 2021.
