Red Wine Etern 2020
Availability: In stock
Produced by the Ritme Celler winery, the Priorat branch of Acústic Celler, the wine Etern is made from a blend of 75% Carignan and 25% Grenache sourced from 70 to 95-year-old certified organic vineyards.
The oenologist Albert Jané crafted this Spanish red wine from vines which, in most cases, yield less than 1 kg of grapes per plant.
After a meticulous selection process, this terroir-orientated Priorat red wine was traditionally vinified and subsequently aged for 12 months in new, light-toast French oak barrels from Allier.
Bottled in April 2022, the red wine Etern 2020 was subsequently aged for 12 months minimum before being released onto the market.
Decant this Crianza red wine a minimum of 2 hours before drinking.
Pair this organic red wine with hearty meat dishes.
Very limited availability. Only 641 bottles produced!
Appearance | The red wine Etern is deep purple with some reddish glints. |
---|---|
Nose | This blend of old-vines Carignan and Grenache carries some complex and concentrated aromas of ripe black fruit, cherry liqueur, and balsamic notes that are intertwined with pleasant earthy aromas, leather, smoke, and a hint of slate. There are delicate aniseed and floral nuances that are presented along a spiced background. |
Palate | This wine from Ritme Celler is deep, focused and detailed, with a steely acidity and some vibrant tannins. Wild berries, Mediterranean garrigue, chocolate, toffee, flowers and mineral, all combined with some smokey and balsamic notes. There is a long, memorably mineral aftertaste that delights the palate and enlivens the spirit. |
Our personal opinion | A top-notch Priorat, the red wine Etern 2020 that has earned a place in the sun. |
