La Mariota - Bac de las Coves 2020 - 40$

$480.00

Case of 12 / Price per Bottle: 40 $.

The 2020 Bac de las Coves from La Mariota stands as a compelling debut for the Argentinian winemaking duo Cecilia Diaz and Guillermo Campos in the Roussillon region. Crafted primarily from 70 % Grenache Noir and 30 % Carignan, sourced from two adjacent 70-year-old vineyards in Tautavel, the wine reflects a deep connection to its terroir—rooted in a blend of schist, marl, and sandy soils that infuse both structure and refreshing vibrancy into the wine. A subtle hint of eucalyptus lifts the concentrated dark fruit profile, while the organic and minimal-intervention approach ensures an expressive, terroir-driven red that strikes a graceful balance between elegance and weight.

On the palate, Bac de las Coves 2020 delivers a dry, structured red wine characterized by nuanced complexity and refined texture. The blend’s careful vinification—each varietal and plot fermented separately before being blended, followed by aging in neutral vessels—yields a wine both layered and approachable. It's classic yet modern, showing dark fruit, freshness, and thoughtful structure, making it a splendid match with hearty red meats, flavorful charcuterie, or barbecued dishes
