Well structured Merlot and Picapoll Negre. Deep garnet colour, intense in the nose with a combination of black fruit notes (cherry/plum) and forest/herbaceous notes. On the palate balanced acidity, medium tannins and elegant full-bodied. Long silky finish...complex and delicious!.
About the winery...
Heretat Oller del Mas is a family vineyard with over 1000 years of tradition, located 60km North from Barcelona, at the outskirts of Manresa.
Restored from 1981 until 2008, its heirs revamped the vineyards that surround the historical castle with a clear objective: obtain distinctive organic wines with an extraordinary quality always respecting the surrounding nature. Heretat Oller del Mas covers 500Hc, but only 10% is being planted with 12 grape varieties: 8 red types and 4 white types. Most of the production (4'000kg/hc) is collected by hand and the production reaches 120'000 bottles per year (2018).
It enjoys a unique continental microclimate, Montserrat mountain protects the fields from the humid wind coming from the Mediterranean, which implies extreme temperatures both in summer and winter.
Composed by 15 family vineyards (in 2020) that surround the city of Manresa, most of them produce their wine with the grapes out of their own fields, using traditional methods inherited generation after generation. During XIX century, it was the county in Catalonia with the highest number of vineyards. It's privileged with several microclimates in the area according to the height (300-360m) and disposition of the land with respect to the sea and surrounding mountains (Montserrat and National Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac).
