The unmistakeable identity of Grans Muralles is thanks to the stony, slate ground (Licorella) of the region, and the grape varieties used to make it. One century after the phyloxera plague the Torres family have begun to recuperate autoctonous grape varieties believed to be extinct, such as Garró and Samsó, using modern viticultural techniques. Together with red Garnacha, Mazuelo and Monastrell they create the unique spirit of this wine.

The 2007 Grans Muralles has no such issues. It offers up an already complex bouquet of sandalwood, exotic spices, herbs, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. Dense, layered, and succulently fruity, it deftly conceals enough underlying structure to evolve for another 3-4 years and will offer a drinking window extending from 2014 to 2027. Wine Advocate 95
