Product Description
Details
This is the new vintage of the red wine Cérvoles Negre, entirely sourced from Vinyes Altes de Les Garrigues, a estate located the Pre-Pyrenees area of Catalonia, in DO Costers del Segre.
A blend of Ull de Lebre (Tempranillo), Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, the vineyards are 30 years old on average. They are grown in sandy-clay soils with an abundance of gravel on the surface, at an altitude around 700 metres above sea level, with huge temperature differences between daytime and nighttime.
It is worth mentioning that the Cérvoles Celler winery, the producer of this Spanish red wine, is a member of the association of high-quality wine producers Grandes Pagos de España since 2002.
Harvested by hand, each variety was destemmed and separately vinified in steel tanks. After that, the Grenache wine was transferred into a French oak vat, and the Cab. Sauvignon and Ull de Llebre wines went into 225-litre oak barrels. The three were aged for 12 months, after which the red wine Cérvoles 2020 was blended, bottled and aged for 6 months minimum before being released onto the market.
Decant this Crianza red wine 1 hour before drinking.
Pair this red wine from Costers del Segre with hearty dishes.

Bordeaux-styled, but with a character of its own. Positively a very good wine.

A high-altitude red wine from Cataluna. This is an extremely elegant and well-crafted wine, plenty of forest aromas and notes of licorice, cedar and fruit. Intense, yummy, classy!!
