Appearance |
The wine Abadal Franc is medium ruby with a garnet rim. |
Nose |
This blend of Cabernet Franc, Mandó and Sumoll is quite pure. Aromas of blackcurrants, raspberries and cherries, alongside aromas of toffee, spices, dry earth and intense forest-floor remembrances. |
Palate |
Fresh and expressive, this wine from Bodegas Abadal has a distinctive acidity and good focus and tension. Aromatic herbs, juicy red fruit, blue flowers and some earthy remembrances. Long, spicy finish. |
Our personal opinion |
From Pla de Bages, in central Catalonia, the wine Abadal Franc 2023 is easy to drink and really fresh. |
