Product Description
Details
A varietal Grenache, Masia Serra Aroa is made by the family-run winery Masia Serra in the heart of L'Empordà.
Planted in 1961, the vineyards are located in Cantallops, a village near the Catalan-French border constantly swept by a harsh, implacable northern wind called Tramuntana. The area is rugged, dry and characterful.
First, the grapes were harvested by hand and carefully selected in the vineyard. Then this Spanish red wine was fermented and macerated in stainless steel tanks.
Finally, Masía Serra Aroa 2019 was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels from Allier.
It is important to decant this Crianza red wine at least 30 minutes before drinking.
Pair with meat recipes and hearty rice dishes.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Masia Serra Aroa is deep ruby with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Grenache definitely has individual character. It is rather different, for instance, from those produced in Priorat. Ripe redcurrants and raspberries, some spicy and sweet nuances, a distinctive note of dry earth and flowers, and hints of balsam and lavender. A very expressive organic red wine. |
| Palate | Medium-bodied, very fresh and humming with energy, this red wine from Masia Serra is quite pure and deeply mineral. The wine still feels quite young, though, showing potential for improvement. Finish is very long, with some smokey and mineral remembrances. |
| Our personal opinion | Born in the windswept hills of L'Empordà, Masia Serra 2019 is a very appealing wine. |

I'm beginning to understand Empordà. Similar to Priorat, not as intense though. The wines there are very mineral, but completely characteristic. This is not cheap, but it deserves a try. Intense and powerful, with a salty twist.
