Produced by bodega Costers del Sió, the wine Siós Cau del Gat comes from DO Costers del Segre, in western Catalonia.
This blended Spanish red wine is made from Grenache, Ull de Llebre (aka Tempranillo) and Syrah.
The grapes were picked by hand and selected on arriving at the cellar. Each grape variety, and each individual plot of grapes, was separately vinified. They were cold-macerated, fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature and macerated for 2 weeks.
After that, the wine Siós Cau del Gat 2022 was transferred into 300-litre French oak barrels and aged for 9 months before bottling.
Finally, this red wine from Costers del Segre was aged for a further 6 months before hitting the market.
