Peñin:
|
|
|
|
origin
|
Vineyards located in Alt Penedès, at 300 metres above sea level, they give us well-structured wines with good alcoholic volume.
These vineyards are always treated with organic fertilizer and only every four years.
|
|
elaboration
|
Maceration of the grapes in underground tanks for 22 days.
Partial ageing of the Tempranillo for 6 months in French oak barriques Limousin.
|
|
tasting notes
|
Cherry with violaceous reflections.
Nose: Vegetal notes appear in the first place and they remind us of green pepper; later on we find fruit aromas (red berries).
The vanilla sweetness appears with elegance.
Mouth: This wine is the result of the combination of the Cabernet and Merlot's fruit with the toasted and vanilla of the partial ageing of the Tempranillo. The result is a wine with a more modern style and easy to drink.
The acidity is well compensated by the alcohol; the tannin is silky but firm, rounding the combination perfectly.
Its aftertaste is long and spicy (vanilla, cinnamon).
|
|
enjoying time
|
Ideal to go with roasted and stewed meat, and cured and creamy cheese.
It combines very well with Mediterranean dishes.
|
|
note
|
This wine will improve in the next months.
