Product Description
Details

The single vineyard wine Albet i Noya Finca La Milana is produced from certified organic vines grown in the heart of Penedès

The 2020 vintage of this Spanish red wine comes with a new composition, namely Grenache and Merlot. The vines are planted on clay-limestone soils with very low levels of organic matter.

Separately harvested, the grapes were carefully selected and destemmed. Fermentation was carried out under controlled temperature, after which this vegan wine was macerated for around three weeks.

Then this organic red wine was drawn off and transferred into French oak barrels, where it was aged for 18 months.

Finally, the wine Albet i Noya Finca La Milana 2020 from the Albet i Noya winery was neither stabilized nor clarified. To preserve its character, this single vineyard red wine was only delicately filtered before its bottling.

Decant this red wine from Penedès a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.

Appearance

The red wine Albet i Noya La Milana is medium violet with some ruby glints.

Nose

This blend of Grenache and Merlot has an appealing aromatic profile. Complex, ever-evolving notes of wild berries and dry earth, alongside notes of spices and a rich panoply of balsamic remembrances, such as lavender, pine needles, resin and underbush.

Palate

Medium-bodied and smooth, this Crianza red wine produced by bodega Albet i Noya is fruit-driven and terroir-bound.There is a gentle mineral core, with some ripe tannins, a great acidity and a long, savoury finish with remembrances of black fruit and some bitter and earthy notes.

Our personal opinion

Unconventional and nicely crafted, the wine Albet i Noya Finca La Milana 2020 certainly deserves a try.

A wine still in the making. Challenging, with plenty of information to ponder on.

Serious red wine. Impressingly complex, some geeky varieties here I had never heard before. Super good.
