Produced by La Vinyeta, this Spanish red wine comes from the northern Catalan region of L'Empordà.
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, the wine Puntiapart 2021 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.
