Product Description
Details
The new vintage of Abadal Cinc, formerly known as Abadal 5 Merlot, comes with a new name and a redesigned label.
Coming from DO Pla de Bages, this Spanish red wine is a varietal Merlot sourced from 5 plots of vines planted with 5 different Merlot clones: 2 coming from France, 2 coming from Italy and 1 coming from California.
Produced by Bodegas Abadal, the grapes were harvested at an optimal ripening point, and carefully selected before being brought in little boxes to the facilities.
Once in the cellar, they were destemmed and transferred into stainless steel tanks, after which the wine must was macerated and fermented under controlled temperature.
After that, Abadal Cinc 2019 was aged for 12 months in French, American and Central-European oak barrels, where it had previously completed malolactic fermentation.
Finally, this red wine from Pla de Bages was aged for a further 6 months in the bottle.
Pair this Crianza red wine with meat recipes and casseroles.
