Product Description
Details
Crafted by Castillo de Perelada in the DO Empordà, Cigonyes Tinto is made from a blend of local and international grapes, namely Grenache and Syrah.
The grapes were harvested by hand and, once in the winery, they were destemmed and transferred into stainless steel vats, where they realized a pre-fermentation maceration. Then they were fermented at a controlled temperature, and after that this Spanish red wine was transferred into 2nd year French and American oak barrels, where it was aged for 4 months.
Nicely presented in a Burgundy bottle, Cigonyes Tinto 2019 is a straightforward, fruit-driven red wine from L'Empordà.
As regards the name of the wine, Cigonyes (Storks) alludes to a successful stork repopulation program undertaken some years ago by the Castillo Perelada winery.
