Red Wine De Muller lo Cabaló 2017
Availability: In stock
A noteworthy red Priorat, the wine De Muller lo Cabaló should be better known.
Made from the best estate vineyards of bodega De Muller, this Spanish red wine from DOQ Priorat is a blend of four varieties: Grenache (75%), Merlot and Syrah (10% each), and Carignan (5%).
The grapes were macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After undergoing a spontaneous malolactic fermentation, this Reserva red wine was transferred into new American and French oak barrels, where it was aged for 12 months.
Finally, the wine De Muller lo Cabaló 2017 was aged for 22 months in the cellar prior to its commercial release.
It is important to decant this age-worthy red wine from Priorat 1 hour before drinking.

---|---|
Nose | This blend of Grenache, Merlot, Syrah and Carignan has a really deep nose, enticing and complex. Aromas of ripe red fruit, aromatic herbs, underbush, coffee, cocoa and menthol, punctuated by deep mineral undertones and some earthy and balsamic remembrances. Really characteristic. |
Palate | Structured and characteristic, this red wine from bodega De Muller carries flavours of blackcurrants, raspberries, remembrances of pine needles, rosemary, spices and black stones. Steely acidity and a silky texture, with ripe tannins and a long, wonderfully mineral finish. |
Our personal opinion | Authenticity in a bottle, the wine De Muller lo Cabaló 2017 encapsulates the mineral soul of Priorat. |
