Red Wine Pinord +7 2016
Availability: In stock
This is the new vintage of Pinord +7, a very interesting Spanish red wine made from a blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
The grapes come exclusively from Mas Blanc, a terraced 18-hectare certified organic estate located between the towns of Bellmunt and Falset, in the heart of DOQ Priorat.
The 2018 vintage was an unusually rainy one, a fact which delayed both bud brake and ripening. Once perfect maturation had been achieved, the grapes were manually harvested and separately vinified in stainless steel tanks.
After that, Pinord +7 2016 was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels.
Finally, this wine of Bodegas Pinord was aged for a further year before its release.
Decant 1 hour before drinking.
Appearance | The wine Pinord 7+ has an intense garnet colour with some bluish tinges. |
---|---|
Nose | Complex, intense notes of ripe black fruit, spices and balsam. On the background, this organic red wine suggests some aromas of black pepper and Mediterranean underbrush, over a deep mineral background. |
Palate | Complex and terroir-orientated, this Pinord red wine has a first-class acidity, bold tannins and a nice freshness. Long finish with remembrances of wild berries, aromatic herbs and an appealing earthy note. |
Our personal opinion | Balanced and full of character, Pinord +7 2016 is deep, characteristic and enjoyable. An excellent Priorat. |
