The speciality of Valencia is robust, full bodied wines made from thick skinned varieties such as Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell. The Falcata Casa Gran brings these two grapes together in a blend with Syrah, using 100% estate fruit from organically farmed vineyards. Viticultarly the estate practices mycorrhization, a technique that helps biodiversity by improving the communication between roots and beneficial fungi in the vineyard. "Falcata" refers to the ancient Iberian sword that was used to fight the Romans during the 4th century BC. An ancient settlement once stood above where Casa Gran is today. In the glass opaque and deep purple in colour, the Falcata Casa Gran bursts with aromas. "Dialed up to eleven" notes of jammy blackberries and blueberries are flavored with big dollops of vanilla bean, dark chocolate, and baking spice. From the nose, it could be mistaken for a juicy Californian red. The type of wine that stains your teeth purple, on the palate it is packed with flavours of dark berries, cocoa, and sweet tobacco.
