Furvus is a wine produced under the protection of the Montsant D.O. The winery where it is produced, Vinyes Domenech, was founded in 2002 by the Domènech-Nogueroles family with the idea of transmitting through their products the landscape and biodiversity of the environment. Furvus is the concentration of Montsant interpreted with elegance: the red fruit ripened by the sun, the enchantment of caressing a garden of medicinal herbs, and an intimate precision in touch. With a bright cherry color, this wine is sweet and its aromatic impact is appreciated on the nose as soon as the bottle is uncorked. Then, on the palate, it offers the creaminess of the Garnacha Peluda mixed with the smoothness of the Merlot. Fruity notes and mineral touches are part of its final aftertaste. A wine that will always leave a good impression. Made in Spain Gourmet always offers the best of Spanish gastronomy.

This wine has a brilliant cherry color. The aromatic impact is almost immediate on the nose. It is a luscious wine that combines mineral notes on the nose with aromas of red fruits, blueberries, and plums. The tannins are present but soft. It is creamy on the palate, probably thanks to the hairy grenache combined with the smoothness of merlot. It leaves a finish with bold notes and mineral touches.

COMMITMENT TO THE EARTH

THE TERROIR

Over the years, they have incorporated vineyards from the best places in the DO Montsant such as Capçanes, La Figuera, El Masroig,.., always looking for the highest areas, old vines, and soils that give personality and typicality to each wine. In short, unique vineyards with very low production where Grenaches and Cariñenas give them the maximum expression.
BIODYNAMIC AND ORGANIC AGRICULTURE
The biodynamic practices of Vinyes Domènech prioritize the basic principles that act in nature, and keep them in mind to provide balance and help the plant's health. It is truly an open form of knowledge, rather than a set of closed methods and techniques. Plants receive influences from the earth and energies from the universe that mark their vital rhythms. They incorporate everything they eat in the form of manure, compost, remains, herbs, leaves, roots, etc., so that, after a few months, it disappears to integrate with the Earth, enriching in humus and making it more fertile. The compound is very important for the vine. They need to revitalize the soil by providing good quality and stable organic matter. Balancing the development of the vine. Certified organic viticulture by CCPAE-2007.
