Palacio de Sada Cuvee Especial 2018

Tasting Notes

75cl/14.5% ABV La Mancha, Spain This Cuvée special is a blend of wines made with grapes from different plots and displays the great potential of our mountain vineyards. With a majority of Grenache variety, combined with grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon and merlot, and having benefited from an ageing period in oak barrels, this wine reveals the special aromatic intensity, elegance and complexity typically brought by our cool climate mountain vineyards. WINE-MAKING Temperature-controlled fermentations using indigenous yeasts are carried out in concrete vats followed by long ageing in French and American oak barrels. ViNES Mountain vineyards of Grenache 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30% and Merlot 10% produce wines with cool climate characteristics thanks to the proximity of the Pyrenees. The vines are located around the tiny village of Sada, in the north-east corner of Navarra. TASTING NOTES A medium-deep dark cherry colour with a ruby rim. Complex aromas of ripe plums, black fruit, toast and cocoa. Flavoursome on the palate with pleasant tannins and fine oak. A long, very full finish with spices coming through.
