Red Wine Heus Negre 2018
Availability: In stock
Produced by La Vinyeta, Heus Negre is born in the northern Catalan region of L'Empordà, not far from the French border.
Made from a blend defined by Cabernet Franc and Grenache coming from over 50-year-old vines, this Spanish red wine is complemented with tiny amounts of Merlot and Syrah. The vines are farmed following sustainable, environmentally-friendly procedures.
The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks for almost a month.
After that, Heus Negre 2018 was filtered, clarified and stabilized prior to its bottling.
Appearance | The red wine Heus Negre has a very bright, medium cherry-coloured robe with a violet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | Quite intense, this Empordà red wine smells of ripe red and black fruit, combined with some herbaceous notes and dim mineral undertones. |
Palate | Meaty and consistent, the freshness of this red wine from La Vinyeta gives it a nice drinkability. Fruit-driven, with well integrated tannins and a good acidity. Medium finish. |
Our personal opinion | Yummy and easy-to-drink, Heus 2018 from L'Empordà pairs excellently with meat dishes and tapas. |
