Купаж типичен за Бордо, но носещ в себе си духът на топла Испания. Алкохолната ферментация се извършва в каменни съдове, а малолактичната в бъчви. Отлежавайки в бутилката, виното ще продължи да развива своя комплексен профил.

More about this wine

Castell d'Encus

At 1,000 meters above sea level, the vineyards in Castell d’Encus, the Priory Appeal, Catalonia, are a serious challenge, accompanied by snow and temperatures threatening the plantations with frost. Raül Bobet is the owner and winemaker. He chooses the place in search of a cool climate to compensate for the effects of global warming experienced by traditional Spanish appeals and, accordingly, plants cold-resistant varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Semilon, Riesling and Albarino. In the struggle for survival and with great care, the grapes from these young vines make complex and nuanced wines. Luis Gutiérrez, a famous wine critic, named them the most exciting new wines in all of Spain.

Catalonia

The name Catalonia DO was established in 1999 and covers all vineyards that are not covered by any of the other 11 DOs in the region. These are Emporda, Costers del Segre, Pla de Bages, Alella, Cava, Penedes, Conca de Barbera, Tarragona, Montsant and Terra Alta DOs and Priorat, DOCa (Denomination of Origen Calificada, the highest classification). Catalonia is considered different from other wine-growing regions in Spain due to the flexibility of its wine styles. It has a strong French influence on two of the most recognizable wines - Champagne-style sparkling cava and red table wines, which have similar characteristics to those produced in Roussillon, just across the Pyrenees. The main grape varieties are Tempranillo (known in Catalan as Ull de Llebre), Garnacha and Monastrell (French Mourvedre), but the red varieties from Bordeaux also play an important role in some of the highest quality blends as well as in varietal wines. Although there are numerous reasons for the success of Catalonia's wine industry, Cava has played an important role. In the 1870s, Jose Raventos began producing sparkling wines around the town of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia in Penedes, using the traditional method. The success of this wine was so great that the region became the center of Cava production in Spain and in 1986 became DO.

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
