Red Wine Blau Barrica 2022
Availability: In stock
Produced by Can Blau, a brand of the Juan Gil Group, the wine Blau Barrica comes from DO Montsant.
This expressive Spanish red wine is made from a blend of 50% Carignan, 25% Grenache and 25% Syrah, coming from vines grown in different kinds of soils.
The grapes were carefully selected and fermented for about two weeks in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
After that, the wine Blau Barrica 2022 was aged in French oak barrels for a brief period of 4 months, in order not to suffocate the quality of the fruit.
This young red wine from Montsant will pair nicely with stews and casseroles.
