Red Wine Guerinda La Cruzica Sin Sulfitos 2019
Availability: In stock
Produced by the Máximo Abete winery, Guerinda La Cruzica Sin Sulfitos is a varietal Tempranillo, no-added sulphites Spanish red wine.
It is produced from two plots of organically farmed vines, La Cruzica and Peralope, located in the area of Baja Montaña, within the DO Navarra.
Harvested by hand, hte grapes were first macerated in stainless steel tanks and then they fermented spontaneously. After that, this natural wine was transferred into French oak barrels. There, Guerinda La Cruzica Sin Sulfitos 2019 was aged for 4 months.
As pure as it gets, this Tempranillo from Navarra is a terroir-oriented wine.
Since it opens tight, we suggest that you aerate this no-added sulphites wine some minutes before drinking it.
Appearance | The wine Guerinda La Cruzica Sin Sulfitos has a nice ruby colour with a garnet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | After aerating it for some minutes to do away with the initial reductive notes, this varietal Tempranillo begins to sing. Blackcurrants and violets, with forest-like remembrances, licorice and a dimly toasted and spicy note. |
Palate | Crisp and nuanced, this wine of Máximo Abete has a spirited character and a kind of "directness" which is typical of sulphur-free wines. Fruit-driven and very fresh, with a long finish reminiscent of herbs, blue flowers and black fruit. |
Our personal opinion | Flawlessly crafted, Guerinda La Cruzica Sin Sulfitos 2019 is a joy to drink. |
