Sine Qua Non Distenta I Grenache 2019 is a truly exceptional wine that exemplifies the mastery of winemaking. From the moment the bottle is opened, it exudes an alluring aroma of ripe red fruits, including succulent raspberries and sun-kissed strawberries, intertwined with delicate floral notes of violets and lavender. These fragrances create an inviting bouquet that promises a sensory journey of depth and complexity.
Upon the first sip, the wine unfurls its vibrant personality on the palate. The red fruit medley continues to captivate, with the addition of juicy pomegranate and a hint of cranberry, offering a harmonious blend of sweetness and tartness. The Grenache's characteristic spiciness emerges gracefully, presenting subtle accents of white pepper and clove, which complement the fruit profile beautifully. The wine's texture is plush and velvety, supported by refined tannins that provide structure without overpowering. As the tasting experience evolves, nuances of dark chocolate and a touch of earthiness add further layers of intrigue. The finish is enduring, leaving an indelible memory of the wine's luscious fruitiness and a touch of elegant spice.
Critic Ratings
The 2019 Grenache Distenta I, which was tasted from bottle, is cut from the same cloth as the 2020, although it's a touch more focused and elegant. Black raspberries, white pepper, new saddle leather, and beautiful floral and spicy notes all soar from the glass. It's medium to full-bodied, with a seamless, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. The wine saw 43.5% whole clusters and 23 months of élevage across new oak, used oak and concrete. It is another sensational wine from the estate that flirts with perfection.
The 2019 Grenache Distenta I is composed of 76% Grenache, 8% Mourvèdre, 9.3% Syrah, 4.3% Petite Sirah and 2.4% Viognier. Medium to deep garnet-purple, it bursts with black raspberries, boysenberries and cherry preserves over charcuterie, charcoal, bouquet garni and aniseed. Red roses and garrigue emerge with patient swirling. The full-bodied palate is wonderfully opulent, with fantastic freshness balancing the intensity. It finishes long with a savory, dried-herb lift.
