Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From the same vineyard they used to produce the Guix Vermell now comes the 2021 Marcenca de Montsant, a pure Garnacha from what they consider their 1er cru. It's pale and delicate, with a perfumed nose and a lot of notes of herbs. It's light to medium-bodied with subtle flavors and moderate ripeness at 12.5% alcohol. It's very perfumed, and with time in the glass, it developed more and more similarities with the Pedra de Guix. 1,800 bottles produced.

Description
Terroir Sense Fronteres Marcenca is the new Premier Cru of Terroir Sense Fronteres. This wine comes from old vines of Garnacha Tinta from the Els Montalts vineyard, located at an altitude of about 800 metres in the Montsant mountains.
Although it comes from the same vineyard as the Terroir Sense Fronteres Guix Vermell cuvée, the grape selection is from a different plot, which gives both wines a unique and distinctive personality. As winemaker Tatjana Peceric explains, "With a lighter extraction than Guix Vermell, Marcenca reflects the beauty of the incredible terroir and microclimate of the Monsant heights".
Winemaking
The grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts for 6 to 8 days with whole bunches in cement tanks. The wine is then aged for 6 months, also in cement. This method of fermentation and ageing in cement allows the wine to preserve and reflect in a pure and authentic way the characteristics of the terroir from which it comes.
Taste
In Terroir Sense Fronteres Marcenca you can appreciate the essence of the Garnacha Tinta at its best. The lightness of its extraction translates into an elegant and subtle wine, where the fruity nuances intertwine with mineral and earthy notes, typical of the heights of Montsant. It is silky and balanced on the palate, leaving a lingering aftertaste that invites a second glass.
