Product Description
Details
Coming from the very heart of Priorat, the wine Mas d’en Compte Negre is produced by bodega Celler Cal Pla from vines grown in llicorella (slate) soils on the outskirts of Porrera.
The composition of this Spanish red wine is 50% Grenache, 40% Carignan and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Picked by hand and rigorously selected, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. After that, the wine Mas d'en Compte Negre 2017 was aged in new French oak barrels for 14 months.
Finally, this Crianza red wine was bottled and kept in the cellar for several years to smoothen it before hitting the market.
Pair this red wine from Priorat with hearty meat recipes and aged cheeses.
Decant 1 hour before drinking.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Mas d’en Comte Negre has deep, bright, clean puple colour with a reddish rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Initially a sort of Priorat-meets-Bordeaux, this blend of Grenache, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon shows a classically elegant profile, with blackcurrants, cranberries, subtle notes of spices, liquorice and aromatic herbs. The dark minerality and a characteristic remembrance of chinese ink, however, put the wine in a category of its own. |
| Palate | Full-bodied and intense, this wine from Celler Cal Pla is also round, fresh and mellowed by the years. Oak is very well integrated, and tannins are delicious. Very long finish, with complex remembrances of red and black fruit, aromatic herbs and wet stones. |
| Our personal opinion | Both distinguished and unpretentious, the wine Mas d’en Compte Negre 2017 is a no-nonsense Priorat that even demanding wine aficionados will find delightul. |
