Product Description
Details
Produced by Celler Bàrbara Forés, the wine Bàrbara Forés El Templari is, as usual, a varietal Morenillo.
Perfectly adapted to the harsh climatic conditions of Terra Alta, Morenillo is a recovered indigenous red variety which produces aromatic wines with a supple body, light colour, moderate alcohol content and a very good acidity. This Spanish red wine was sourced from a single organically farmed vineyard with clayey soils called Umbría de Tomaset.
The grapes were picked by hand and carefully selected. Then this red wine from Terra Alta was macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks and clay vessels with indigenous yeasts.
After that, the wine Bàrbara Forés El Templari 2021 was aged for 8 months in clay vessels. It was further aged for some months before being released onto the market.
The lovers of, say, Italian reds will absolutely relish this organic red wine.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Bàrbara Forés El Templari has a medium ruby colour with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Very fresh and honest on the nose, this varietal Morenillo has a rich bouquet of red fruit, citrus and balsam, with an earthy background and hints of flowers and Mediterranean garrigue. |
| Palate | Slightly warm at the beginning, this wine from Celler Bàrbara Forés soon shows a crisp acidity and some fresh balsamic notes. Deep, juicy, and slightly tannic, with plenty of red fruit, a clayey remembrance, and a pleasant rusticity. Long finish. |
| Our personal opinion | An important step on the road to the recovery of Terra Alta's rich wine heritage, the wine Bàrbara Forés El Templari 2021 is refreshingly unconventional. |

Morenillo
I wonder why there aren't more wines made only of Morenillo. This grape seems to give this red a very special character. We loved it.
