Product Description
Details

The family-owned winery Mas Estela, an interesting organic and biodynamic project located in the northernmost area of DO Empordà, is the producer of the wine Mas Estela Quindals.

A blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah, the grapes are sourced from terraced vineyards with slate soils located in the Cap de Creus area, a windswept headland of rough beauty overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

The hand-harvested grapes were fully destemmed before undergoing a cold pre-fermentation maceration. This Spanish red wine was then fermented under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.

After that, the red wine Mas Estela Quindals 2021 was aged for 9 months in terracotta jars. Finally, this Crianza red wine was bottled and aged for 12+ months before hitting the market.

It is advisable to decant this red wine from L’Empordà some time before drinking.
