Product Description
Details
Produced by Perelada in DO Empordà, the wine Cigonyes Tinto is made from 90% Grenache and 10% 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 3 months.
Nicely presented in a Burgundy bottle, the red wine Cigonyes Tinto 2024 is a straightforward, fruit-driven vegan red wine. Pair with light dishes.
As regards the name of this red wine from Empordà, "Cigonyes" means "Storks", which alludes to a successful stork repopulation program undertaken some years ago by the Castillo Perelada winery.
