Product Description
Details
The wine Bonfill is a characterful Spanish red wine made by bodega Arché Pagès, a family winery from Capmany, a village situated in the northernmost area of DO Empordà, a stone's throw away from the Catalan-French border.
A blend of the traditional varieties Grenache and Carignan, this Crianza red wine is sourced from a 35- year old Grenache plot and two Carignan vineyards planted in 1929 and 1964, all composed of granitic soils. Constantly swept by the mighty tramontana – a fierce northern wind – the northern Empordà region has a hot and dry climate.
The hand-picked grapes were sorted on site and refrigerated upon arriving at the facilities. This red wine from Empordà was macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks, after which it was aged for 14 months in 500-litre new French oak barrels.
Gently fined before bottling, the red wine Bonfill 2021 was stored for over 2 years before hitting the market.
Production below 3,000 bottles.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Bonfill is deep purple with a ruby-coloured hue at the rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Grenache and Carignan has a classic Empordà profile, with dense aromas of ripe forest berries and red cherries, hints of herbs de Provence and sweet spices and some smokey and mineral intimations. |
| Palate | This wine of bodega Arché Pagès is full-bodied and savoury, with sinewy tannins, a lively acidity and a rather smooth mouthfeel. Gently spicy, with an earthy minerality and a long finish suggesting yummy black fruit, cocoa and herbs. |
| Our personal opinion | A paragon of Mediterranean warmth, the wine Bonfill 2021 will make a great pairing with BBQ'd meat and hearty comfort food. |
