Red Wine Naltres 2022
Availability: In stock
Produced by L'Olivera Cooperativa, the wine Naltres (meaning "We" in the North-Western Catalan variant spoken in the Lleida province) was the first Spanish red wine produced by the company.
The 2022 vintage of this red wine from Costers del Segre is a blend of Grenache (55%), Cabernet Sauvignon (25%) and Samsó (20%), the local name of Carignan. All come from estate vineyards located in Vall del Riu Corb, a subzone of DO Costers del Segre
The grapes were harvested by hand in little boxes to avoid fruit bruising. Then this organic red wine was fermented and aged for some months in stainless steel tanks.
Finally, the red wine Naltros 2022 was bottled and added a very small amount of sulfites (total content is 23 mg/l).
As a side note, it is worth mentioning that, for more than 20 years, the L'Olivera coop has been doing the praiseworthy task of giving people with mental disabilities the oportunity to work, furthering their economic and social integration. This is the meaning of the "Naltres" name.
Pair this vegan red wine with BBQ'd meat and sautéed vegetables.

---|---|
Nose | Lively and straightforward, this blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan is packed with ripe red fruit, with notes of bitter cocoa, flowers, pepper and underbrush. |
Palate | This red wine from Cooperativa L'Olivera is yummy and vibrant, with slim tannins, a nice acidity and some balsamic and tobacco remembrances framing the red fruit. Long, pleasant finish. |
Our personal opinion | Fresh and inviting, the red wine Naltres 2022 is an excellent value from western Catalonia. |
