Product Description
Details
This is the new vintage of the wine Perelada 5 Finques Reserva, formerly known as Perelada 5 Finques.
Produced by Castillo de Perelada, this Spanish red wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Grenache, Monastrell, Merlot and Samsó (Carignan).
The 6 grape varieties come from 5 plots - hence the name 5 Finques - composed of different kinds of soils. This fact, together with the Mediterranean influence and the cooling efect of the Tramuntana (a harsh northern wind) give the wine an interesting complexity.
The grapes were separately harvested and vinified. Then the red wine Perelada 5 Finques Reserva 2020 was aged for 18 months in fine-grain American and French oak barrels.
After that, this Reserva red wine from L'Empordà was aged for a further months in the bottle.
Aerate 30 minutes before drinking. Pair with hearty dishes.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Perelada 5 Finques Reserva is deep ruby with a violet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Monastrell, Syrah, Merlot and Samsó certainly benefits from its rich composition. Complex aromas of juicy black and red fruit, combined with dash of exotic spices, some earthy nuances and aromas of menthol and Mediterranean underbrush. We also perceive some mineral remembrances over a deep, smokey and toasted core. |
| Palate | Mouth-filling and savoury, this red wine from Castillo Perelada has a solid structure and a steely acidity. Flavours of dark fruit, dry earth and Mediterranean herbs. Intense mineral notes, crunchy tannins and long finish. |
| Our personal opinion | If you ever have the chance to visit L'Empordà, in northern Catalonia, we suggest drinking the wine Perelada 5 Finques Reserva 2020 with "Mar i muntanya" recipes (the local version of Surf and turf - and a particularly delicious one at that.) |

I think this is a very good wine for the price. Everything feels right. The fruit is delicious, wood adds a light touch and the finish is superb.

A very intense wine. Powerful, mineral and concentrated, with focus and good acidity. Excellent value.
