Brutal 2023 (RARE, 750 bottles)

Brutal 2023 is a rare natural wine crafted by Vinyes Tortuga, in the Catalonia region in Spain. This orange wine with just 750 bottles made is created with Carinyena Blanca, Garnacha Blanca and Garnacha Roja (Grenache Gris) grapes.

Both the owners of Vinyes Tortuga actually are no stranger to making Brutal wines, having worked with one of the founders Joan Ramón Escoda. Some of the vines in their own offering are 90 years old

The mix of grapes are destemmed by hand and then macerated on the skins for a week before theaging in steel tanks for fresness. We hear its salty and a little spicy.
