Product Description
Details
Produced by Castillo de Perelada in DO Empordà, Cigonyes Tinto is made from Grenache and Syrah.
The grapes were harvested by hand and, once in the winemaking facilities, 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 2020 is a straightforward, fruit-driven red wine. Pair with light dishes.
As regards the name of the wine, "Cigonyes" means "Storks", which alludes to a successful stork repopulation program undertaken some years ago by the Castillo Perelada winery.
