Why We Love It

We love Metamorphika Carinyena because Carinyena brings Mediterranean depth, structure and savoury energy to the Metamorphika line.

Description

Metamorphika Carinyena is made from 100% Carinyena, a Catalan red grape capable of depth, freshness and earthy complexity. In Costador's hands it becomes precise and gastronomic, combining dark fruit, Mediterranean herbs and mineral structure with the clean finish that defines the producer.

About the Producer

Costador, led by Joan Franquet, works with old vineyards across Catalonia to create wines of striking personality and precision. The Metamorphika range is immediately recognisable for its beautiful ceramic bottles and artwork, but the true achievement is the quality inside: wines that are precise, clean, expressive and deeply gastronomic. Costador proves that low-intervention wine can be both characterful and exceptionally polished, which is why the wines have found their way into some of Catalonia's finest restaurants, including Michelin-starred tables.
