About this WINE
Castell D'Encus
One of the most exciting properties in the Catalan Pyrenees, Castell D’Encus is the brainchild of winemaker Raul Bobet, who developed these precipitous and eminently photogenic vineyards in the early 1990s. A plethora of varietals provide a fascinating backdrop to some ingenious winemaking, a lot of it combining ultra-modern vinification with the most ancient techniques, including ‘gaps’ that have been naturally carved into the rocks as make-shift fermentation vats. Everything here is dynamic and exciting and the wines, racy and energetic, repay the compliment admirably.
Other Varieties
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Description
The Quest is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Part fermented in granite lagares which winemaker Raul Bobet has crafted out of the local rocks, the wine is exuberant and with a pit-cherry freshness, behind which the Cabernets kick in, the Franc adding forest floor notes, the Sauvignon depth and structure. Silky and seductive, the wine finishes well.
