Tasting notes

Aromas of ripe cherry and dark berries mingle with vanilla, floral hints and a touch of spice. The palate is structured yet fresh thanks to the mountain climate, with fine tannins, lively acidity and a long, complex finish.

About this wine

Quest is a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot from Castell d'Encus, the high-altitude Catalan estate of owner and winemaker Raül Bobet. Its vineyards sit at around 1,000 metres in the Costers del Segre, where snow and frost are a real challenge; Bobet chose the site for its cool climate, to offset the effects of global warming.

Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stone vessels and malolactic fermentation in barrels. The result carries the spirit of warm Spain in a Bordeaux frame, with cherry, vanilla and floral notes, and keeps developing its complex profile in bottle.

Serve at 16–18 °C.
