Appearance | The red wine Ónra Negre is deep ruby with a garnet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | Subtle, suggestive aromas of raspberries and damson, nuanced by some spicy hints and notes of flowers, toast and vanilla. The blend of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon works like a charm. |
Palate | Powerful and palate-coating, this red wine from Celler La Gravera shows prominent flavours of ripe red fruit, some hints of balsam and spices and some mineral hints. Full-bodied, but also crisp and focused. Good acidity, delicious tannins, and a long, mineral finish. |
Our personal opinion | Fresh and savoury, Ónra Negre 2017 will pair wonderfully with a festive cheese & paté platter and with red meat dishes. |
