Availability: In stock
The 2022 vintage of Bancal del Bosc, the entry-level Spanish red wine from Celler Vinyes Domènech, has slightly changed its composition, which now includes only local varieties.
The wine is made from Grenache, Hairy Grenache and Carignan, sourced from 3 vineyards with slate and clay soils situated in Capçanes, DO Montsant.
After fermenting for 20 days under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, a portion of Bancal del Bosc 2022 was transferred into French oak barrels and aged for 6 months. After that, the wine was blended and bottled.
This savoury red wine from Montsant will be an excellent accompaniment for BBQ'd meat.
