Sindicat La Figuera
2023Montsant tradition bottled by René Barbier
Spec sheet
The wine
Sindicat La Figuera is a wine produced in the traditional way, without using oak, truly authentic and very easy to drink. It's a pure Garnacha from one of Montsant's coolest areas, floral, juicy, with a rustic touch and mineral hint. An absolute delight!
This wine is part of a project aiming to restore the production of wines undertaken by the Cooperativa Agrícola Aubacs i Solans in the 1970s. It's receiving input and assistance from René Barbier Junior.
What does this wine taste like?
This red wine is a Picota cherry colour, fruity, juicy and fresh, with scents of ripe red fruit, Mediterranean herbs and spicy touches. On the palate it's supple and soft, with considerable aromatic intensity in the retro-nasal passage. It’s smooth, with a perfect balance between juiciness and acidity. Its tannins are extremely pleasant, a little rustic, but sweet, and it has a slightly liquorice finish. It conceals a mineral (chalk) hint which comes to the fore after a short while in the glass and takes on an omnipresent delicacy that only Garnacha from La Figuera can confer.

Food pairing
It works wonderfully well when partnered with rabbit stews and rice dishes, cooked meats, barbecues and pasta. A perfect every-day wine.
