L’Heravi 2021

Wine Description for L’Heravi 2021 by Vinyes d’en Gabriel

Colour & Appearance

Rich, luminous purple-red with youthful brilliance – a wine that reveals its Mediterranean origin and freshness the moment you pour it into the glass.

Nose

Fragrant and seductively youthful: cinnamon cherries and sour cherries dominate, accompanied by violets and a hint of black olive tapenade. These are joined by macchia herbs, ripe blackberries and a trace of liquorice. This vibrant aromatics immediately whet the appetite.

Palate

Here the L’Heravi reveals its true class: crystal-clear, juicy and with silky tannin structure, it glides across the palate with remarkable verve. The cherry fruit – both ripe and tart – is complemented by crisp wild berries and a splash of blood orange juice. The fine grip and fresh acidity lend the wine an energised tension that never feels intrusive.

Finish

Medium-length, fresh and with lingering fruitiness – the wine bids farewell with a pleasant spiciness and lively energy.

Terroir & Origin

The vines are rooted in calcareous, clayey and gravelly soils between 125 and 200 metres altitude in Montsant, less than 30 kilometres from the Mediterranean. This proximity to the coast gives the wine its characteristic freshness and Mediterranean elegance.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A thoughtfully crafted blend of Cariñena (45-year-old vines), Garnacha (30 years) and Syrah (25 years). Maturation is handled with restraint in concrete and stainless steel – a deliberate choice that preserves fruit clarity and freshness rather than masking it with oak aromas.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Perfect with lamb kofta with tahini and sumac, braised rabbit with elderflower jus or basmati and wild rice with currants and braised onions. Its versatility also makes it an ideal companion for Mediterranean grilled dishes and spiced stews.

Special Features

A prime example of modern, easy-drinking Montsant: uncomplicated, quaffable and with impressive energy. At a moderate 13% alcohol, this wine demonstrates that power comes not from concentration, but from balance.
