Product Description
Details
Produced by the Cara Nord winery, a joint venture between American wine importer Eric Solomon and Catalan winemaker Tomás Cusiné - who is also the owner of the Castell del Remei and Cérvoles wineries - the wine Cara Nord is made from a blend of Grenache, Syrah and the indigenous, little-known Catalan variety Garrut, a local variation of Monastrell.
Planted at an altitude of 800 metres above sea level, the certified organic vineyards are grown in slate, pebblestone and clayey-limestone soils with very low levels of organic matters in the midst of the unspoilt environment of the Prades mountains, in the southern Catalan region of DO Conca de Barberà. Climate is continental with a Mediterranean influence.
Manually harvested, the grapes of this Spanish red wine were brought to the cellar in little boxes, and then they were fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
After that, the wine Cara Nord Negre 2022 was aged for 6 months in French oak barrels.
It is advisable to decant this red wine from Conca de Barberà some time before drinking.

| Palate | The entrance onto the palate of this organic red wine of the Cara Nord winery is fresh and crisp. Notes of red and black fruit, an underlying mineral character and a dash of spices.

This reminds me of a Gamay wine. Drinks as easily, but it has an extra dimension to it.
