Red Wine Abadal 3.9 2018

Located in the heart of Catalonia, DO Pla de Bages is a long-forgotten and currently re-emerging wine region that in the late years has produced increasingly interesting wines thanks to the sustained work of wineries such as Bodegas Abadal, the producer of this Spanish red wine.

A varietal Cabernet Sauvignon, Abadal 3.9 is a single parcel wine coming from a site with special characteristics. Surrounded by dense forests, the vineyard has red clay soils which give the wine a particular character.

The grapes were harvested by hand and went through two selection processes, one in the vineyard and the other one in the cellar. Then the wine must was fermented and were macerated with the solid cap of skins to extract colour and aromas.

The ageing process of this red wine from Pla de Bages was complex, as it was carried out in six different types of wooden barrels which, in turn, had three different toast levels. 70% of them were French oak barrels, while the remaining 30% were American oak barrels.

Aged for 12 months, Abadal 3.9 2018 was bottled and aged for a further 12 months in the cellar before its release.

We recommend that you decant this reserva red wine wine 1 hour before you drink it.
