The 2006 Pedradura Tinto is a blend of Marselan and Petit Verdot from calcareous soils which was aged in oak barrels for one year. It has a slightly animal character, with notes of leather, cured meats, licorice and fountain pen ink with a fresh, herbaceous, medium-bodied palate with dusty tannins and good freshness. This is ready to go with food. Drink now-2016. Can Rafols dels Caus is a spectacular property in the Garraf subzone of Penedes, a huge calcareous rock where owner Carlos Esteva grows an eclectic collection of red and white grapes and crafts highly personal wines.
