Product Description
Details
One of the bottlings of the "Proyectos de Autor" collection, the wine La Clave is a blended Spanish red wine crafted by the great Raúl Pérez, a winemaker whose career goes from strength to strength.
Made basically from Mencía, complemented with Syrah and Tempranillo, the grapes come from vines planted in clay-limestone soils in Valtuille de Abajo, a village in DO Bierzo.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were partially destemmed and fermented in diposits and 500-litre open oak vats. After macerating for 30 days with periodic pump-overs, this Crianza red wine was transferred into 2nd year French oak barrels. Then the wine La Clave 2021 was aged for 6 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
We suggest that you aerate this red wine from El Bierzo some minutes before drinking. Pair with cold cuts and stews.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | Clean and bright, La Clave is medium purple with some ruby glints. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Meaty and earthy, this blend of Mencía, Syrah and Tempranillo also suggests aromas of mulberries and bilberries, with some remembrances of smoke and underbrush. |
| Palate | Fresh and smooth, the balance of fruit and oak aging is excellent, as is usually the case with the wines of Raúl Pérez. This a deep, a tad austere wine with mildly rugged tannins, a nice acidity, and a long, mineral finish. |
| Our personal opinion | A nice piece of work, the wine La Clave 2021 from El Bierzo is a fabulous value. Pair with meat dishes. |
