Availability: In stock
Produced in the Catalan region of DO Costers del Segre, Finca Siós is a rather remarkable Spanish red wine.
Fist, it is made from a blend of Grenache and Syrah, farmed following organic guidelines and planted amidst a landscape of olive trees and fruit trees. They were harvested by hand, selected both on site and in the cellar.
Most interestingly, the wine was then fermented in open-air stone vats dating from the XIIth century and located near the vineyards.
After that, this red wine from Costers del Segre underwent malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Finally, Finca Siós 2016 was aged in 500-litre 2nd year French oak barrels for 12 months.
Before its release, this wine of the Costers del Sió winery was aged for 12 months in the bottle.
Production of 3,648 bottles. Drink over the next 6 years.

Nose | Conveying a very pure, ort of open-air feeling, this blend of Grenache and Syrah smells of red fruit and red roses over a deep mineral and earthy background, nuanced by spices, balsam and aromatic herbs.
|
Palate | Fresh and palate-coating, this wine by Costers del Sió has a crisp acidity and a linear passage through the palate. Texture is solid but loose, with no tension or oak suffocation. Delightfully pure, juicy red fruit, a touch of liquorice and, again, flowers and mineral suggestions. Long, complex finish.

Our personal opinion | Original and well crafted, Finca Siós 2016 from Costers del Segre is an excellent wine. |
