GALLINA DE PIEL ROCA DEL CRIT 750 ml

Description

Discover the soul of Catalonia in every pour of Gallina de Piel Roca del Crit, a distinctive red wine from the esteemed D.O. Emporda region in Spain. Crafted under the vision of David Seijas, this bottle emerges from his heartfelt endeavor, Gallina de Piel Wines. For 13 years, David honed his expertise as a sommelier at the legendary El Bulli restaurant, where he mastered the art of revealing wine's deepest stories.

Now, through his personal project, David bridges the gap between intricate sommelier insights and everyday enjoyment. He champions diverse wine styles that pulse with the unique personality of their origins. Partnering with top producers, he handpicks exceptional vineyards and native grapes, ensuring each wine captures the essence of its homeland. His portfolio features just two expressions, one rooted in Emporda—where his sommelier golden years unfolded—and another from Valdeorras, tied to his Galician family heritage. These lands hold profound meaning, blending legacy with lived experience.

Roca del Crit stands as the Emporda flagship, blending Grenache from the Mas Mares vineyards and Carignan from Rabos. The Grenache vines, at 15 years young, thrive on granitic soils that infuse them with rugged vitality.

This union reflects David's quest to spotlight local treasures, letting the landscape's character shine through.
