Gratitud Negre 2022, Cosmic Vinyaters

An expressive, biodynamic red blend from Baix Penedès, harmoniously marrying international and indigenous varieties.

Gratitud Negre 2022 is a thoughtfully crafted red wine by Cosmic Vinyaters, reflecting a deep respect for both the land and the art of winemaking. This blend consists of 70% Cabernet Franc, 20% Sumoll, and 10% Marselan, sourced from 20 to 25-year-old vines rooted in limestone-rich red clay soils at elevations between 300 to 500 meters above sea level in the Baix Penedès region. ​

The grapes are hand-harvested and partially destemmed, followed by a skin-on maceration lasting between 3 to 7 days to extract optimal color and flavor. Fermentation is spontaneous, driven by native yeasts, with 90% occurring in stainless steel tanks and 10% in amphorae. The wine is then aged on fine lees for four months in stainless steel tanks, enhancing its texture and complexity. Bottling is done unfiltered, preserving the wine's authentic character. ​

On the nose, Gratitud Negre 2022 reveals aromas of fresh red fruits, accompanied by subtle herbal and spicy nuances. The palate is medium-bodied, offering vibrant acidity, gentle tannins, and a harmonious blend of fruit and earthy flavors, culminating in a refined finish. ​

This versatile wine pairs excellently with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and strong cheeses, making it a delightful addition to various culinary experiences. ​
