Product Description
Details
The bearer of a family tradition that harks back to the XIIth century, Martí Fabra, the producer of Martí Fabra Selecció Vinyes Velles, embodies the very essence of the Empordà region.
As usual, this Spanish red wine is made from a blend of Grenache and Carignan, sourced from vines 50 to 80 years of age.
Surrounded by olive trees and Mediterranean garrigue, the vines grow in slate soils and are constantly swept a harsh northern wind called Tramuntana.
Meticulously harvested and separately vinified, Martí Fabra Selecció Vinyes Velles 2021 was aged for 9 months in underground concrete diposits and for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Decant this red wine from L'Empordà 1 hour before drinking.
Pair this Crianza red wine with hearty meat recipes.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Martí Fabra Selecció Vinyes Velles is deep purple with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Intense, deeply Mediterranean aromas define this blend of Grenache and Carignan. Notes of garrigue, wild berries, tree bark and spices, over a resounding earthy and mineral background. |
| Palate | This red wine from bodega Martí Fabra is vigorous and sturdy on the palate. Liquor-infused fruit, aromatic herbs, notes of dry earth and garrigue, some mineral suggestions and a dash of spices and balsam. The wine has a delicately warm core, nicely balanced by a great freshness and a well-balanced acidity. Ripe tannins and long, earthy finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Deep and powerful, the amazingly priced Martí Fabra Selecció Vinyes Velles 2021 pairs marvelously with game dishes and Rillettes. |

Impressively complex wine. Dark, mineral and powerful, similar to Priorats but with a drier note.

Sense títol
powerful but velvety wine, of a deep red colour and long taste on the palate, in which ripe fruit scents prevail.
