Emilie Mutombo (Penedès)
Field Blend • 2021
Translating to “everything” in Latin, this cuvée came about as an attempt to make sense of the odds and ends that didn’t quite fit elsewhere in the cellar. After an initial press of the carbonically macerated merlot headed for the “Merlotte”cuvée, Emilie saw there was still quite a bit of material left to the fruit, and decided to re-pass it through an already macerating tank of Macabeu and Bobal. After partial élevage in demijohn, the wine was bottled just before the following year’s harvest, producing a wine of great linearity and gentle structure. A gently savoury nose leads into a mineral, saline palate with just a touch of plump fruit and dusty tannins that border the edges.
