Details
Literal! 2024
The wine Literal! is the first foray of Bodega Arché Pagès into the world of minimal intervention and low-alcohol wines.
This varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from Carignan vineyards located near the village of Capmany, in the northenmost area of DO Empordà.
The grapes were harvested early and vinified in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. After that, the red wine Literal! 2024 went straight into the bottle with no added sulfites.
It is worth mentioning that, in contrast to the majority of wines from the region – where an ABV above 14.5% is not uncommon - this red wine from Empordà has a moderate alcohol content of 12% ABV.
| Appearance | The red wine Literal! is bright purple with some cherry-coloured reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Expansive and expressive, this minimal intervention Carignan carries lively aromas of forest berries, cocoa, cola nut and blue flowers, with a mineral hint. |
| Palate | This wine of Arché Pagès winery is lithe and cheerful, with a racy acidity, a vibrant mid palate and a medium-long, pleasant finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Impeccably made, the low-sulphites red wine Literal! 2024 is all the more interesting since it comes from Empordà, a region hardly known for its innovative spirit. |
