La Báscula ‘Catalán Eagle’ Red 2020

Weighty with sweet ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit and warm vanilla oak spice. The oak contact gives this wine a new world feel whilst remaining firmly and typically Spanish from the character of old-vine Grenache and Carinena.

Country: Spain

Region: Catalunya

Grapes: Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah

ABV: 14.5% 

Organic

Food match: Smooth, ripe tannins mean the wine can be drunk on its own but particularly good with barbecued meats and chorizo sausage feasts.

Sourced from Pepe Fuster's 26ha vineyard in Terra Alta, near Tarragona. The vineyard is organically certified - with stoney limestone and clay soil, and vines grown at 500-600m altitude. A blend of Garnacha, Cariñena and Syrah. Two month's contact with oak staves gives a touch of vanilla and added complexity.
