Details
Cal Pla Negre 2023
A blend of Grenache and Carignan, the wine Cal Pla Negre by Celler Cal Pla is made by winemaker Joan Sangenís from young vines planted in Mas d'en Caçador, a vineyard with llicorella (slate) soils on the outskirts of Porrera, in the heart of rugged DOQ Priorat.
The grapes were picked by hand and meticulously selected. Once in the cellar, this Spanish red wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature.
After that, the red wine Cal Pla Negre 2023 was aged for 12 months in 60% French and 40% American 2nd year oak barrels. This Crianza red wine was cellared for a couple of years before hitting the shelves.
This flavourful red wine from Priorat will make a nice pairing with cold cuts and stews.
