Availability: In stock
This interesting Spanish red wine comes from the windswept region of L'Empordà, in northern Catalonia.
Delightfully rugged and full of character, the wine L'Oratori is made mostly from a blend of Grenache and Carignan, with droplets of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.
Once in the cellar, the grapes were cold-macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks.
Then, the wine L'Oratori 2022 of the Martí Fabra winery was aged for 12 months in underground concrete tanks, a fact that gives the wine a distinctive character.
Aerate this red wine from L'Empordà 30 minutes before drinking.

---|---|
Nose | Quite expressive, this blend of Grenache, Carignan, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah smells of red berries and liquorice, with notes of Mediterranean undergrowth, fennel and dry earth. |
Palate | Rugged and authentic, this red wine of Martí Fabra is wonderfully fresh and fruit-driven, with grainy tannins, a crisp acidity and an earthy-balsamic character. Long, gently warm finish. |
Our personal opinion | A ridiculously good value, the red wine L'Oratori 2022 is a versatile wine made to be paired with BBQ'd meat. |
