Product Description
Details

Coming from DO Montsant, the wine Cingles Blaus Octubre is made from Grenache and Carignan.

The grapes come from two plots, one composed of slate soils, and the other composed of rocky soils with pebble stones. Harvested and gently crushed, the grapes were cold-soaked for about 24 hours to extract colour and aromas from the skins.

Fermented in stainless steel tanks, the wine Cingles Blaus Octubre 2023 was left in contact with its lees for some days and then underwent malolactic fermentation in 2nd year Central European oak barrels.

Finally, this red wine from Montsant was aged for 6 months in the barrels.

Aerate this Spanish red wine of the Cingles Blaus winery 20 minutes before drinking.

Good wine from Montsant. Similar to some Priorats, but half the price.
