Characteristics
Les Comes d’Orto is a red wine from the D.O Monstant produced by Orto Vins. This wine is a blend of 3 different varieties: Garnacha (50%), Samsó (45%) and Tempranillo (5%).
The grapes used to produce Les Comes d’Orto come from 3 different estates: Coma Nicolau, Coma Requera and Coma Gigolà, which are located at altitudes varying between 120 and 234 metres. The vineyards are home to mainly calcareous soils, with abundant amounts of clay and gravel. The vines are traditional low bush vines and are between 37 and 70 years old. The Agriculture on the vineyard is carried out in an environmentally friendly manner.
Once the harvest has been carried out and the grapes have been transported to the winery, the grapes for Les Comes d’Orto are left to macerate for 28 days. Following this, fermentation takes place in 500 litre capacity wooden tanks at a controlled temperature of 30º. Finally, Les Comes d’Orto is aged for 12 months in fourth year French oak barrels. The wine is then bottled following a light filtration to ensure that impurities are removed from the wine.
Orto Vins is a young winery founded by four partners in 2008 and is situated in the town of El Masroig. The aim of the company is, with the use of old vines, to find the best expression of the native varieties.
Tasting notes
Taste Elegant and fresh attack, with a certain power and bulk. Les Comes d’Orto 2011 is a long and very complex red wine with flavours of red fruits, hints of liquorice, undergrowth, and some mineral nuances at the end. Persistent fruity and spicy aromas at retro-olfaction.
Taste Fresh and rather powerful attack. This red wine is long and very complex with flavours of red fruit, tones of liquorice, undergrowth and some mineral touches at the end.
Taste Intense and embracing attack. Silky mid palate. Very balanced complex and mineral wine. Long and lingering aftertaste.
