Red Wine Ferrer Bobet Selecció Especial 2019
Availability: In stock
Year after year, the wine Ferrer Bobet Selecció Especial (black label) proves that it is possible for a Spanish red wine to combine an unmistakably Mediterranean character with a supreme, cool climate elegance.
This phenomenal Crianza red wine from the Ferrer Bobet winery is made from low-yielding, over 100-years-old Carignan vines planted on steep slate slopes in the heart of Priorat.
The Carignan variety can sometimes be inexpressive during its youth. However, the passing of time exponentially enhances its qualities. This is why a very old-vines Carignan conveys like no other variety the deeply mineral llicorella soils of the Priorat region.
After two selection processes the alcoholic fermentation of the hand-picked grapes was made in 15 and 30 hl. wooden vats. Malolactic fermentation and a 18-month ageing period took place in fine grain, medium-light toasted French oak barrels.
After that, the red wine Ferrer Bobet Selecció Especial 2019 spent a minimum of 15 months in the bottle.The wine was not fined in order to preserve its unique personality.
To appreciate this Priorat red wine in its full glory, we strongly recomment that you decant this wine for a minimum of 3 hours before you drink it.
