Details
Mas Llunes Rhodes 2023
Organic
The wine Mas Llunes Rhodes is sourced from vineyards with slate soils located in the northern part of DO Empordà, near the Catalan-French border.
This Spanish red wine is a blend of Grenache, Carignan and a small amount of Syrah.
Produced by the Mas Llunes winery, the grapes were hand-harvested and meticulously sorted. Each variety was separately fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature, with two daily pump-overs. This organic red wine from L’Empordà was racked after 30-40 days, and then it went through malolactic fermentation.
After that, the red wine Mas Llunes Rhodes 2023 was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. This organic red wine was gently filtered and clarified before bottling.
We suggest decanting this Crianza red wine before drinking.

| Our personal opinion | The wine Mas Llunes Rhodes 2023 is an unashamedly Mediterranean red. Like a good Gigondas or Lirac, but with a darker, earthier twist. |
