Product Description
Details

Produced by bodega Costers del Sió, the wine Siós Cau del Gat comes from DO Costers del Segre, in western Catalonia.

This blended Spanish red wine is made from GrenacheUll de Llebre (aka Tempranillo) and Syrah.

The grapes were picked by hand and selected on arriving at the cellar. Each grape variety, and each individual plot of grapes, was separately vinified. They were cold-macerated, fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature and macerated for 2 weeks.

After that, Siós Cau del Gat 2021 was transferred into 300-litre French oak barrels and aged for 9 months before bottling.

Finally, this red wine from Costers del Segre was aged for a further 6 months before hitting the market.

Aerate this Crianza red wine 20 minutes before drinking.

Pair this organic red wine with meat dishes or with a good cheese platter.
