Nocturnal wine harvest
Year 2018
“Pepe, you are losing your mind” was what we first heard when we announced the launch of Cojón de Gato. “How are you going to name a wine Cat Bollock?”
Cojón de Gato, Botón de Gato, Pito de Gato, Cojón de Mico or Cojón de Médico is the name of a Spanish indigenous grapes, in danger of extinction, and used once to give a full body to other wine coupages.
Since he was young, Pepe already knew the peculiar Cojón de Gato grape. It was a rounded table grape, with an intense claret colour. Agustina, his aunt, used to give it to him as a dessert, only when he behaved. He always thought that was a funny name for a grape and promised himself one day he would elaborate wine with this variety.
This is the first wine elaborated by Vinos Divertidos, a coupage of Merlot, Syrah and Cojón de Gato, which leaves nobody indifferent
