Based in the Pyrenean foothills of Catalonia, Castell d’Encus produces wines from high-altitude vineyards planted on limestone and clay soils. Quest is a red blend typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with other Bordeaux varieties. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in French oak barrels, the wine develops both structure and complexity. The balanced 2016 vintage delivered concentration supported by freshness. Compared to Acusp, Quest is fuller-bodied and more structured, combining blackcurrant, plum and subtle spice with firm tannins and long finish. https://castelldencus.com/
