Located in Terra Alta in the south of Catalonia, all Casa Mariol wines are organic and certified vegan, with plantings of both native spanish grapes and international varaties like Cabernet and Merlot. This Cab Sauv has aromas of blackberry, gooseberry, pepper and clove. Smoky notes with touches of dried fruit, vanilla and toffee. The tannins are soft and make it a good match for fattier foods but tamed enough to have on it's own.
A medium bodied Reserve Cabernet, that spends 36 months in cask. Ripe black fruit, roasted peppers, cinnamon, fig jam and notes of toasted coffee and cocoa. I dare you to drink it with a casserole.
Low-temperature fermentation, with slight barrel ageing to enhance its aroma. Despite being a low acid grape, Casa Mariol does a good job at mainting freshness, which keeps the intense rasberry flavours tasting freshly picked. On the other hand, theres some dried fig, toffee and spice to colour the fruit with savoury qualities.
Casa Mariols take on something more reminiscent of Catalunya, while Cariñena (Carignan) can be a hard grape to find sometimes, in Terra Alta it's something the locals drink everyday. The grape has a unique cured meat quality, which marries with tobacco leaf scents. With tart cranberry and rasberry fruit it's hard not to fall in love.
