A blend of Garnacha and Cari?ena, the 2013 Bancal is an unoaked red with a fruit-driven nose with something wild that made me think of the Swiss mountains and the wild herbs and slightly vegetal, rustic character of Valais wines. Blends seem to have changed this year. While the technical sheet says it's a mixture of Garnacha and Cari?ena there is a mention of Syrah on the back label, and the aromas tend to confirm the presence of this Rh?ne grape. Half of the wine matured in barrels for six months while the rest stayed in stainless steel and clay amphorae which seems like a nice balance. It comes through as quite juicy and fresh, with a pinch of spices. A pleasant young red.
