Red Wine Cingles Blaus Selecció 2021
Availability: In stock
This expressive Spanish red wine from Montsant is produced by Bodega Cingles Blaus.
Made principally from Grenache, the wine Cingles Blaus Selecció benefits from a touch of some deeply mineral, old-vines Carignan.
The grapes were picked by hand, meticulously selected, carefully destemmed and gently crushed. Then they were macerated for 12-24 hours and fermented in stainless steel tanks.
After that, the wine Cingles Blaus Selecció 2021 was transferred into new French oak barrels and aged for about 12-16 months.
Decant this Crianza red wine 1 hour before drinking.
Appearance | The red wine Cingles Blaus Selecció is deep purple with a violet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | Blackberries, cranberries, aromatic herbs, menthol and some deep mineral notes. This blend of Grenache & Carignan also insinuates some hints of flowers, cocoa, clove, cinnamon, toast and coffee. |
Palate | Big and meaty, but not overripe or jellylike. Bodega Cingles Blaus has crafted a wine with an excellent acidity, some yummy tannins and a solid structure. Ripe red fruit, notes of toast and Eastern spices, remembrances of After Eight mints and some mineral undertones. This red wine from Montsant has a long, complex finish. |
Our personal opinion | Produced in a "New World" fashion, the wine Cingles Blaus Selecció 2021 will delight the lovers of Australian reds. |
