Product Description
Details
A single vineyard wine, Albet i Noya Finca La Milana is produced from vines 25 to over 100 years old, grown in the heart of Penedès.
Interestingly, this Spanish red wine is a blend of Caladoc - a crossing of Grenache and Malbec created in 1958 - Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo) and Merlot. The grapes are sorted from 11 plots of south-oriented vineyards located at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level.
Separately harvested, the grapes were carefully selected and destemmed. Fermentation lasted 8 days, after which the wine was macerated for a period of 18 days.
Then this organic red wine was drawn off and transferred into French oak barrels, where it was aged for 18 months.
Finally, Albet i Noya Finca La Milana 2019 from the Albet i Noya winery was neither stabilized nor clarified. To preserve its character, this vegan wine was only delicately filtered before its bottling.
Decant this red wine from Penedès a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.

| Nose | This blend of Caladoc, Ull de Llebre and Merlot has an appealing aromatic profile. Complex, ever-evolving notes of wild berries and dry earth, alongside notes of spices and a rich panoply of balsamic remembrances, such as lavender, pine needles, resin and underbush. |
| Palate | Medium-bodied and smooth, this Crianza red wine produced by bodega Albet i Noya is fruit-driven and terroir-bound.There is a gentle mineral core, with some ripe tannins, a great acidity and a long, savoury finish with remembrances of black fruit and some bitter and earthy notes. |

A wine still in the making. Challenging, with plenty of information to ponder on.

Serious red wine. Impressingly complex, some geeky varieties here I had never heard before. Super good.
