Details

This is the new vintage of the wine Augustus Reserva Trajanus of Augustus winery (also known as Cellers Avgvstvs Forvm), a Spanish red wine made from vineyards situated in DO Penedès.

Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Tempranillo and Cabernet Franc, the grapes were separetely harvested and vinified. After completing fermentation, this organic red wine was aged for 24 months in 300-litre French oak barrels.

Bottled in April 2023, the red wine Augustus Reserva Trajanus 2019 was aged for a minimum of 24 months before hitting the market.

Appearance

The red wine Augustus Reserva Trajanus is deep ruby with some reddish tinges.

Nose

Rather complex and nuanced, this blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Merlot suggests some smokey and toasted notions, a dash of black fruit and a bouquet of flowers, giving way to aromas of spices, toffee and vanilla. In the background, some earthy and mineral remembrances and aromas of aromatic herbs and Havanna cigars.

Palate

Complex, full-bodied and intense, the texture of this wine from Augustus winery is smooth, and acidity is excellent. Tannins are ripe, and finish is very long, with remembrances of spices, fruit and some smokey and mineral notes.

Our personal opinion Distinguished and age-worthy, the wine Augustus Reserva Trajanus 2019 is a serious wine. Pair with hearty dishes.

Value
Deep, smooth, nicely textured and exquisitely balanced. It has an international flair, but the intensity reveals its Mediterranean origin. Judicious use of oak, rewardingly fresh and very long.
