Product Description
Details
Produced by Celler Avgvustvs Forvm, Augustus Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is made from a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Merlot. Both varieties come from vineyards planted not far from the Mediterranean sea, following the old Via Augusta, Spain's most important Roman road.
Separately harvested and vinified, after a 13-day skin maceration both musts were fermented in stainless steel tanks. Then this red wine from Penedès was aged for 14 months in 300-litre French oak barrels.
After that, this Spanish red wine from Penedès was gently clarified and delicately filtered.
Finally, Augustus Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2019 was aged for a further 12 months before its commercial release.
Limited production.
