Product Description
Details
This elegant Spanish red wine wine is produced by the Castillo de Perelada winery.
It is made exclusively from grapes coming from Finca Malaveïna, a scenic site with red clayey soils that offers incomparable views of the eastern Pyrenees and the Mediterranean sea.
The 2019 vintage of this single vineyard red wine from L'Empordà is a blend of 63% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% de Cabernet Franc, and a dollop of Grenache.
Harvested by hand and meticulously selected, the grapes were cold-macerated before fermentation. Then Perelada Finca Malaveïna 2019 was drawn off and aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels from Allier. Finally, it was aged for some months in the cellar before its commercial release.
Decant this Crianza red wine from L'Empordà half an hour before you drink it.
