Product Description
Details

Produced by the boutique winery Alemany i Corrió, the red wine Sot Lefriec has gained a cult status among discerning wine aficionados over the last years.

Coming from Penedès, this garage wine is made from 50% Carignan coming from 70-year-old vineyards, 35% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The grapes were painstainkingly selected both at the vineyard and in the cellar before being cold macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After that, this red wine from Penedès was transferred into 40% new year French oak barrels, where it went through malolactic fermentation and was aged for 26 months.

In order to preserve its great qualities, the red wine Sot Lefriec 2019 was neither filtered nor clarified prior to bottling.

It is highly advisable that you decant this Reserva red wine for a minimum of 1 hour before you drink it.

This small-batch red wine has serious ageing potential.

Appearance

The red wine Sot Lefriec is deep purple with violet tinges and a garnet rim.

Nose

This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan has gravitas and real complexity, and it greatly benefits from a prolonged aeration. Mineral undertones, red berries and black fruit, evolving into garrigue, cocoa, coffee and a dash of smoke and chinese ink.

Palate

Excellent definition, with a laser-like acidity, sinwewy tannins and lots of inner energy. Brooding and deeply mineral, with smoked forest berries underscored by a mineral suggestion. This wine of Alemany i Corrió has an amazingly long finish.

Our personal opinion

Definitely world-class, the red wine Sot Lefriec 2019 is quite an experience.
