Reviews and Ratings

This wine takes its name from the walls that protect the monastery at Poblet during the Mercenary Wars. (When are wars not mercenary?) The vines grow in stony, slate soils (licorella). One hundred years after phyloxera plagued the region, the Torres family revitalized the Garro and Samso grapes thought to be extinct. They blend this with Garnacha, Monastrell and Mazuelo grapes. Smoky, chary oak and dried herbs on the finish - yes please! - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
