Oriol Artigas Alella El Rall 2021

Catalunya // Spain

50% Merlot, 20% Garnacha Tinta, 20% Syrah, 10% Sumoll. The grapes are harvested by hand at an altitude of 160-350 metres above sea level. Bunches are destemmed and undergo a 4-day skin-contact maceration. From there it goes directly to the press, where the must is produced and fermented with native yeasts. The finishing touch of Oriol Artigas El Rall is the aging process, which happens in two parts: most of the wine (80%) spends 7 months in stainless steel tanks; the rest (20%) spends 6 months in used oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined. A fun juicy red. We love this slightly chilled.
