Availability: In stock
We are happy to introduce the wine Les Boleteres, the debut release of bodega Mas de Sant Marcell.
This new and exciting winery is named after Mas de Sant Marcell, a historic estate located in the village of Cornudella de Montsant - on the border between the DOQ Priorat and the DO Montsant – rescued from abandonment by the Oliver-Ponsarnau family, the driving force behind the project.
This varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from a vineyard with steep slate slopes planted in 1999 in partida Les Boleteres, situated in DOQ Priorat. The hand-picked grapes were fermented under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.
After that, this red wine from Priorat was transferred into 2nd and 3rd yeard 225-litre French oak barrels and aged for 12 months. Once bottled, the red wine Les Boleteres 2022 was stored for no less than 18 months before hitting the market.
2,700 bottles were produced of this Crianza red wine.
Aerate some time before drinking.
| Appearance | The red wine Les Boleteres is deep purple with a violet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This is an interesting expression of the incomparable Carignan from Priorat, boasting a noteworthy transparency and a particular brightness. Redcurrants and blueberries combine with herbs de Provence, subtle spicy hints, wet stones and wild flowers. |
| Palate | Compact and nicely rounded, with polished tannins, superb acidity and excellent definition. Again, this wine from Mas de Sant Marcell winery balances power and subtletly, with a metallic edge to the berryish fruit and a long finish with notes of powder cocoa, kola nut and charcoal. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Les Boleteres 2022 is an impressive debut. The Mas de Sant Marcell project is definitely worth following. |
