Details

This is the new vintage of Albet i Noya Curiós Ull de Llebre, an organic red wine which was first produced by the Albet i Noya winery back in 1979.

A single varietal Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo), it comes from 4 plots located in the Costers de l'Ordal area, DO Penedès.

After the harvest, the grapes were fermented and macerated at a temperature of 22ºC for seven days, with two daily pump-overs.

A portion was then vinified through the carbonic maceration process, after which this Spanish red wine was aged for 4 months in vats.

Finally, Albet i Noya Curiós Ull de Llebre 2018 was gently filtered and aged for a couple of months before its release.

Drink through 2021.
