Perelada, 5 Finques, DO Empordà, Spain, 2020
Producer Profile
Perelada are one of the most prestigious and highly regarded wine and Cava producers in Catalunya – a family-owned estate built upon a winemaking tradition that stretches back to the Middle Ages.
Viticulture
The 5 vineyards that this wine comes from are situated around 40-150m above sea level, with an average age of 21 years. Conventional viticulture and double royal training system, the soil consists of slate slopes, sandy plains and gravel. This diversity of the soils allows them to harvest grapes with an enormous range of aroma and flavour nuances and to produce complex wines full of character.
Winemaking
A traditional red wine making with a long maceration and a controlled fermentation at 24ºC. Matured in fine American oak and Allier French oak. Matured in bottle for at least 2 years before release.
Tasting Note
Deep cherry red colour. Its aroma is reminiscent of red fruits and spices, with some balsamic notes and a toasted background. In the mouth it is fresh, well structured and balanced. Its tannins are plentiful but really well integrated. This is a wine with a great personality and a long finish.
Food matching
Both young and mature red meats, cheeses and even chocolate!!!
Order before midday for next-day delivery
