Both Grenache and Moscatel are flourishing climate adapted grapes to the northern region of Baja California. Both share an aromatic, sutil taste, almost innocent personality, with frutal and floral expressions. Like a birthday cake. This Grenache has a concentrated fruit and antioxidant profile. Light tanins, some reductiveearth notes and structure which makes it a good match for white flower driven Moscatel. Pobre Diabla is deep, juicy without being excessively frutal, dry and vibrant. Lovely pomegranate-raspberry hues with orange, pepper and cranberry aromas.
We started with Moscatel and Grenache followed about 2 weeks after. Both had a maceration of about 7-10 days, part whole cluster part crushed. 1 light pump over per day. Grenache had a big year this harvest and gave much more fruit than the previous year, finding a more notorious voice in the blend. Then pressed and sent to barrel where it finished fermentation. Blended before barreling. Fermentation lasted 14 days in total.
