Still young and jumpy, but the ripeness and pedigree of this Penedès bruiser is beyond reproach. Its big, bold and deep as a mountain lake, with black plum, bullion and a pile of blackberry on the palate. Tons of extract and tannins make this inky, saturated heavyweight a wine to ponder. For fans of forward, beefy reds. 91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
The unmistakeable identity of Gran Muralles is thanks to the stony, slate ground (Licorella) of the region, and the grape varieties used to make it. One century after the phyloxera plague the Torres family have begun to recuperate autoctonous grape varieties believed to be extinct, such as Garró and Samsó, using modern viticultural techniques. Together with Garnacha, Mazuelo and Monastrell they create the unique spirit of this wine.
