Product Description
Details

The 2022 vintage of the wine Perelada Finca Garbet is, as usual, made solely from Syrah.

This varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from a single vineyard located on one of the spurs of Cap de Creus, the headland that constitutes Spain's easternmost point.

Owned by Castillo de Perelada, the 12-hectare vineyard, called Finca Garbet, is distributed in terraces composed of slate soils, directly facing the Mediterranean Sea. The vines are around 25 years of age.

Located in the northernmost part of DO Empordà, the place is constantly swept by the harsh, unrelenting northern wind called tramuntana, which is a most effective sanitizing agent. Besides that, it also operates as a natural temperature regulator.

Harvested by hand, the grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks with two daily pump-overs. Fermentation of this Reserva red wine was carried out using indigenous yeasts, and maceration lasted for 30 days.

After that, the red wine Perelada Finca Garbet 2022 was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels (Tronçais). Once bottled, this vegan wine was kept for at least 1 year in the cellar before hitting the market.

Decant this red wine from L'Empordà a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.

Appearance

The red wine Perelada Finca Garbet has a deep purple with a violet rim.

Nose

This varietal Syrah has an astonishing aromatic complexity. Aromas of red and black fruit combine in the most seductive way with rich suggestions of aromatic herbs and Mediterranean garrigue. The notes of clove, cinnamon and exotic spices provide for a great counterpoint, as well as the poignant mineral undercurrent.

Palate

Reminiscent of the great Australian reds, but with a terroir-driven element underpinning its opulent character. The balance between fruit and wood is excellent, and the wine shows real potential for improvement. The tannins of this wine from Castillo de Perelada are delicious and finish is impressively long, with a mineral aftertaste that is like a wonderful picture of the rugged Empordà terroir.

Our personal opinion

Bold and ambitious, the wine Perelada Finca Garbet 2022 is exquisitely crafted.

On a par with some truly big names from Australia. It is not cheap, but if you like the style it is worth it.

I was in serious awe after finishing this wine. The big structure and volume are perfectly complemented with the mark of terroir. Plenty of local character, with an international flair.
