Availability: In stock
Made by the Oliveda winery, the wine La Bèstia Negra is sourced from vineyards with slate soils located between the villages of Rabós and Vilamaniscle, in the northern, most rugged area of DO Empordà.
A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, the grapes were hand-harvested and then this Spanish red wine was slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks. Then this red wine from Empordà was transferred into French oak barrels – Grenache – and American oak barrels – Cab. Sauvignon -. Both were aged for 12 months.
We suggest decanting the red wine La Bèstia Negra 2022 30 minutes before drinking.
Pair this Crianza red wine with hearty meat recipes.
