Product Description
Details
Bearing the DO Catalunya label, the wine L'Equilibrista is made from a blend of three varieties: Syrah, Samsó (Carignan) and Grenache.
The grapes are sourced from 20 to 40-year-old vines planted near the Montserrat mountain range.
Harvested at an optimal ripening point, once in the cellar the grapes were destemmed, gently crushed and underwent pre-fermentation maceration. After that, this Spanish red wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
Finally, the wine L'Equilibrista 2017 was transferred into French and American oak barrels, where it was aged for 14 months.
Decant this Crianza red wine of the Ca n'Estruc winery 30 minutes before drinking.

| Nose | This blend of Grenache, Samsó and Syrah conveys aromas of ripe bilberries, blackberry liqueur, liquorice and underbrush. There is a delicate wooden background, with some mineral undertones and hints of rose pepper. |
| Palate | Well-structured and savoury, this red wine from Ca n'Estruc has some velvety tannins and a long, mouth-cleansing acidity. Medium-long finish, with remembrances of ripe blackberries and plums, along with hints of toast and chocolate. |

Sensational value for money. Herbs, a touch of spice, red cherries. Fine and fresh.
