The Story

Escurçons is exclusively made of Red Grenache and comes from the vineyard of the same name situated within the lands of Gratallops village wines at the top of the Serra Alta hill.
The factors like the soil – ferruginous slate, being situated at 601m above the see level with a South, South-West exposition grant the wine this curious sensation of ethereal fragility, minerality and bold maturity that is unmistakable.
Escurçons is a journey through time; a look, a reflection of the wine that used to be made on this very vineyard before phylloxera by the people of Ca l’Olives.
