Product Description
Details
Belonging to the DO Catalunya, L'Equilibrista is made from a blend of three varieties: Syrah, Samsó (Carignan) and Grenache.
The grapes come from 20 to 40-year-old vines planted in the town of Esparraguera, owned by the Ca n'Estruc winery.
Harvested at an optimal ripening point, once in the cellar the grapes were destemmed, gently crushed and underwent pre-fermentation maceration. After that, this Spanish red wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
Finally, L'Equilibrista 2016 was transferred into new medium toasted French oak barrels from Allier, where it was aged for 14 months.
Decant this Crianza red wine 30 minutes before drinking.

| Appearance | The wine L'Equilibrista has an intense, clean cherry colour with purple tinges and a violet rim. |

| Nose | This blend of Grenache, Samsó and Syrah conveys aromas of ripe bilberries, blackberry liqueur, liquorice and underbrush. There is a delicate wooden background, with some mineral undertones and hints of rose pepper. |
| Palate | Well-structured and savoury, this red wine from Ca n'Estruc has some velvety tannins and a long, mouth-cleansing acidity. Medium-long finish, with remembrances of ripe blackberries and plums, along with hints of toast and chocolate. |
| Our personal opinion | Personal, powerful and gentle, L'Equilibrista 2016 offers a good chance to get to know the wines from the DO Catalunya. |

Sensational value for money. Herbs, a touch of spice, red cherries. Fine and fresh.
