Product Description
Details

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 2023 30 minutes before drinking.

Pair this Crianza red wine with hearty meat recipes.

Nose

Intense aromas of forest berries and dark cherries, with deep mineral notes and a dash of balsam and pine needles. This blend of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon also insinuates vanilla, black pepper and mint.

Palate

This wine of bodega Oliveda winery is meaty, bold and structured, with firm tannins, deep mineral suggestions, medium acidity and a long finish with an spicy and toasted aftertaste.

Our personal opinion

An old-style Mediterranean red, the wine La Bèstia Negra 2023 is succulent and powerful.
