Portal Criança 2021
Formerly known as Portal Tinto, the wine Portal Criança is a blended Spanish red wine from bodega Celler Piñol.
It is mainly made from Grenache, with some Samsó (Carignan) and Syrah. The grapes were sorted from vines 25 to 35 years of age, planted in poor, clayey-limestone soils at an altitude of 450 metres.
After the harvest, the grapes were separately vinified in wooden vats.
Once fermentation was completed, the wine Portal Criança 2021 from Terra Alta was aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels.
Decant this red wine from Terra Alta of 30 minutes before drinking it.
| Appearance | The red wine Portal Criança is medium ruby with a garnet rim. |

| Nose | Straightforward aromas of wild berries, menthol and underbrush, combined with some creamy toasted notions, hints of vanilla, a tip of flowers, and notes of Jamaican pepper and clove. This blend of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah is quite expressive. |
