Product Description
Details
Produced by Orto Vins, the wine Les Comes d'Orto is a blended Spanish red wine from Montsant crafted following a philosophy of minimal intervention by the respected winemaker Joan Asens.
Made from Grenache, Samsó (Carignan) and Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo), the grapes were sourced from 40 to 75-year-old biodynamically farmed vines grown in three plots: Coma Nicolau, Coma Roquera and Coma Gigolà, each of which is planted with a single variety. The soils are composed of limestone, clay and gravel.
Each plot was separately harvested and traditionally vinified. Then this Crianza red wine was fermented in 500-litre oak barrels with indigenous yeasts and a 28-day maceration.
After that, the wine Les Comes d'Orto 2021 was transferred into used oak barrels, where it underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12 months.
Pair this Montsant red wine with cured cheeses and stews.

This is a very gentle and pleasing wine. Not overextracted or overoaked, it keeps a great balance and lingers long in your palate.
