Product Description
Details
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 French oak barrels.
After that, the red wine Ferrer Bobet Selecció Especial 2020 spent a minimum of 24 months in the bottle.The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
To appreciate this Priorat red wine in its full glory, we strongly recomment that you decant this wine 4 hours before you drink it.

World-class
Priorat produces the world's best Carignans, and this is one the absolute best. Black slate distilled into an intoxicating wine of an incredible depth, with a fruit so pure it seems out of this world. Besides, this beauty will live for many years.
