Product Description
Details
Produced by La Vinyeta, this Spanish red wine comes from the northern Catalan region of L'Empordà. Made from estate-owned vineyards, Puntiapart is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Samsó (Carignan).
Constantly swept by the Tramuntana, a relentless northern wind, the old vines were harvested by hand, and then the grapes were gently pressed and cold-macerated for some days.
After completing fermentation, Puntiapart 2019 was aged for 12 months in French, American and Hungarian oak barrels.
Pair this flavourful red wine from L'Empordà with meat recipes and cold cuts.
It is advisable to decant this Crianza red wine 1 hour before drinking.

I drink this in the wonderful city of Girona, in a cozy restaurant right in the old Jewish quarter. The drink perfectly matched the romantic setting.

La Vinyeta winery is on the top of my list when speaking of Emporda. This blend works very well, and it will improve over the next 4 years.
