Sindicat La Figuera 2022 Red Wine – WA90 Rated Spanish Vintage

Discover the vibrant essence of Montsant’s Grenache tradition with Sindicat La Figuera 2022—a handcrafted red wine that blends Spain’s sun-kissed terroir with meticulous winemaking expertise. Hailing from the rugged hills of Montsant, this Grenache is distinguished by its crisp freshness and aromatic complexity, thanks to grapes grown at high altitudes where cool breezes balance ripe fruit flavors.

Sourced from Sindicat’s 2022 vintage, this wine embodies the region’s authentic character through its production process. Fermented in underground concrete vats using age-old techniques, it undergoes a precise short maceration to preserve bright acidity while extracting rich fruit tones. Frequent rackings during aging ensure a silky texture without overpowering tannins—a testament to the winemakers’ dedication to balance. Despite challenging growing conditions that led to a 20% crop reduction, each bottle reflects their commitment to quality over quantity.

On the palate, expect a lively interplay of juicy red berry flavors—think raspberry and cherry—enhanced by subtle citrus and floral hints from the elevation-driven climate. The medium-bodied structure pairs effortlessly with lighter dishes yet holds its own against heartier fare, while an earthy undertone adds depth without heaviness. This Grenache stands out among regional offerings for its refreshing approachability and nuanced character, making it ideal for summer evenings or weeknight meals alike.

Whether enjoyed solo or paired with grilled vegetables, charcuterie, or Mediterranean dishes, Sindicat La Figuera delivers a crisp yet satisfying experience that honors Montsant’s winemaking heritage. Its lower tannin profile ensures easy drinking, appealing to both Grenache enthusiasts and those seeking a versatile red wine option.
