About the wine
Bracing, super-fresh rosado of 100% Garnatxa, given the briefest of times on the skins during the press to haze and blush the wine to this most appealing cherry pink. Giving refreshment akin to an alcoholic glass of salty cranberry juice, this is the perfect wine bar or party pour. Crunchy red apple, pithy pink grapefruit - it's simple, lip-smacking, good-time fare. Skull it, don't mull it, as a wise individual once uttered.
The grapes were pressed directly into steel tanks until the following spring. Unfiltered, with no additions at any stage, these simple, delicious wines show impressive stability once the cork is pulled.
About Celler Comalats
The Bonet family have cultivated vines in and around Ametlla de Segarra in the Lleida province of western Catalonia for over 700 years. It’s work that has been passed on from generation to generation, eventually established as Celler Comalats in the early 90s by father Jaume who, seeing the potential of their elevated and secluded location, began to farm the land with organics, and planted varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah amongst the more typical Garnatxa and Picapoll.
After establishing this forward-thinking way of working, it is now Jaume’s son Eloi and daughter Eva who are at the helm, taking things to their next logical conclusion by making the wines with no filtration or additions in the cellar. When we first tasted with Eva in Barcelona in early 2024 we were struck by how the family have endeavoured to apply these practises to simple, honest and, most importantly, delicious wines that suit the midweek dinner table at home, as much as they display the stability required for them to be opened and poured by-the-glass in a wine bar. Comalats make wine you can reach for time and time again.
