Carefully harvested and selected, the grapes were macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks.
Afterwards, the wine Vilosell 2021 was aged in new and 2nd year French oak barrels for over a period of 9 months. Before its bottling, this organic red wine was aged for 3 months in underground concrete diposits.
Aerate this red wine from Costers del Segre some time before drinking.
Appearance | The red wine Vilosell is deep ruby with some reddish tinges. |
---|---|
Nose | This blend of Tempranillo, Grenache and Syrah begins with some hints of smoke and dry earth, followed by notions of black fruit, spices, cocoa and toast. There is also a touch of red berries and rosy pepper. |
Palate | Winemaker Tomás Cusiné has done a nice job here. Yummy forest fruit with a dash of vanilla, moka and cocoa, underpinned by underbush and garrigue. Good acidity, ripe tannins and a fresh, medium-long finish. |
Our personal opinion | The wine Vilosell 2021 is round, well-balanced and flavourful. This organic red wine will nicely match a Beef and Vegetable Casserole. |
