Product Description
Details
Produced by Rafael Cambra, the wine La Forcallà de Antonia perfectly encapsulates the new wave of Valencian wines.
This Spanish red wine is made solely from Forcallà or Forcayat, a late-ripening variety indigenous to the Valencia region with a floral, fresh and high-acidic character that is quite rare among Mediterranean grapes. On the verge of extinction some decades ago, the Forcallat variety is in the process being recovered by a new generation of Valencian winemakers.
The grapes are sourced from ungrafted vines over 50 years old grown in sandy soils. This red wine from Valencia was vinified with 50% full clusters and macerated in stainless steel tanks. After that, the red wine La Forcallà de Antonia 2023 was aged for 10 months in a big oak vat and in used 500-litre French oak barrels.
Originality, quality and price: these three features make this Crianza red wine a real treat.
