Product Description
Details
Produced by Finca Viladellops, the red wine Turó de Les Abelles is an interesting, under-the-radar Spanish red wine produced from Grenache and a 10% Syrah.
The grapes are sourced from over 25-year-old, organically farmed vines planted in the calcareous, fossil-rich soils of the Garraf Massif, a subzone of DO Penedès with a highly distinctive personality.
Picked by hand and transported to the cellar into 15 kg. boxes, after two selection processes the grapes were cold-macerated in open vats at a controlled temperature, after which the wine completed alcoholic fermentation.
Then the red wine Turó de les Abelles 2021 was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. After blending the best samples, the wine was bottled and stacked for a further 12 months in the cellar before being released.
We recommend that you decant this Crianza red wine at least 30 minutes before you drink it
Decant this red wine from Penedès at least 30 minutes time before drinking.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Turó de les Abelles is deep ruby with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Grenache and Syrah carries lively aromas of ripe strawberries and redcurrants, with a hint of blackberries and deep mineral undertones coming from the marine soils of the Garraf Massif. After a while, the wine suggests some notes of spices, flowers and hints of dry undergrowth. |
| Palate | This organic red wine from Finca Viladellops has a crisp body and a solid structure. Texture is supple and agile, with juicy red fruit, liquorice, Mediterranean underbrush and some well-integrated spicy notes. Tannins are ripe and sweet, and acidity is rock-solid. Delicate finish with some enticing mineral remembrances and subtle spicy notes. |
| Our personal opinion | Unconventionally elegant and unashamedly Mediterranean, the red wine Turó de Les Abelles 2021 is worth discovering. |

Sen-sa-tio-nal wine. Pure, enticing and deeply mineral, this must grow in a first-class terroir to be this good.
