Product Description
Details
Produced by Celler Pardas, the wine Pardas Negre Franc is a Bordeaux blend made from certified organic vineyards situated in DO Penedès.
This blended Spanish red wine is composed of 76% Cabernet Franc and 24% Cabernet Sauvigon. The Cab. Franc grapes come from two parcels: Vinya de la Barraca, planted in 1996, and Les Obagues Velles, planted in 1998. The Cab. Sauvignon grapes are sourced solely from the first parcel. Both are farmed following environmentally friendly procedures, using no pesticides or chemical herbicides whatsoever.
The two grape varieties of this Penedès red wine were separately harvested and vinified. Fully destemmed, they were fermented and macerated in centenary concrete tanks lined with resin for 17 to 18 days.
After that, the wine Pardas Negre Franc 2019 completed a spontaneous malolactic fermentation, and then it was transferred into used 300 and 500-litre French oak barrels, where it was aged for 10 months. It was delicately filtered prior to bottling.
Aerate this Crianza red wine some time before drinking.

| Appearance | The red wine Pardas Negre Franc is medium ruby with some violet reflections and a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Intense and rather deep, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc shows a rich combination of black fruit, some vegetal and mineral undertones, suggestions of dry earth and balsam, and some hints of spices. |
| Palate | Bold and palate-coating, this wine of Celler Pardas also has precision and focus. Remembrances of Havanna cigars, green bell pepper, spices, red berries, incense and menthol. Good acidity, crunchy tannins and long finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The reasonably priced wine Pardas Negre Franc 2019 proves, yet again, that the Bordeaux varieties perform excellently in Penedès. |

negre frach
2 Cabs and... Sumoll? It sounds strange, but now, after 7 years, it works surprisingly good.
