Product Description
Details

This is the 2020 vintage of the wine Abadal Cinc, formerly known as Abadal 5 Merlot.

Coming from DO Pla de Bages, this Spanish red wine is a varietal Merlot sourced from 5 plots of vines planted with 5 different Merlot clones: 2 coming from France, 2 coming from Italy and 1 coming from California.

Produced by Bodegas Abadal, the grapes were harvested at an optimal ripening point, and carefully selected before being brought in little boxes to the facilities.

Once in the cellar, they were destemmed and transferred into stainless steel tanks, after which the wine must was macerated and fermented under controlled temperature.

After that, the wine Abadal Cinc 2020 was aged for 12 months in French, American and Central-European oak barrels, where it had previously completed malolactic fermentation.

Finally, this red wine from Pla de Bages was aged for a further 6 months in the bottle.

Pair this Crianza red wine with meat recipes and casseroles.

Nose

This varietal Merlot from has a well-defined character. Aromas of blackcurrants and sour cherries, with some remembrances of dry earth, cocoa, toast, vanilla and sweet spices.

Palate

Bold and fresh, with a delicately sweet, distinctive note of coffee and moka, some creamy remembrances of red fruit and spices, punctuated by some mineral touches. This wine of Bodegas Abadal has a smooth texture, with gentle tannins and a medium-long finish, slightly reminiscent of a chocolate-flavoured liqueur.

Our personal opinion

The elegant wine Abadal Cinc 2020 will pair well with, say, a red lentil and chickpea soup.
