Product Description
Details

The family winery Celler Noguerals makes the wine Corbatera from a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.

A single vineyard Spanish red wine, it is sourced from a parcel located within the Noguerals estate, a 700 metres of altitude, in DO Montsant.

This blended red wine from Montsant was traditionally vinified. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, with a 15 to 20-day maceration. Then the wine was transferred into oak barrels to complete the malo.

After that, the red wine Corbatera 2016 was aged for 12 months in French, American and Central European oak barrels. Gently filtered before bottling, it was kept for several years in the cellar before hitting the market.

We suggest decanting this Crianza red wine some time before drinking.

Appearance

The red wine Corbatera is medium purple with some ruby reflections.

Nose

This blend of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon is fresh and precise, showing the kind of balance that only comes after some years in the bottle. Red berries and boysenberries, with hints of resin, Mediterranean herbs, hot stones and spice, with earthy underpinnings and a dash of bitter cocoa.

Palate

The mature intensity of this red wine of Celler Noguerals is conveyed in a self-assured and suave manner, with polished tannins, a linear acidity and lively mid palate. The oak is nicely integrated, giving a spicy edge to the berryish fruit, ending with a mineral and balsamic note.

Our personal opinion

The wine Corbatera 2016 shows the most distinguished side of the Montsant region.
