The 2009 2 Pi R is a blend of Garnacha, Carinena, Cabernet and Syrah aged in 70% French and 30% Hungarian oak. It has an attractive bouquet of red berry fruit, marmalade and cooked meat, while the palate is full-bodied with low acidity, rendering it cloying towards the finish. Drink now-2016.
Gratavinum belongs to the Cusine family from the Penedes and is a joint project with winemaker Jordi Fernandez. They own 17 hectares of vine around Gratallops and Poboleda, entirely organically grown.
