Carta Vieja Cabernet Sauvignon
euro 7.59

Good value with vanilla tinge to the palate that sets it apart from many competitors in this price range.
Tasting Notes : Mature cassis and vanilla aromas with a medium-bodied palate that is enhanced by fine, smooth tannins.
Producer : Carta Vieja
Method of Production : After picking by hand, the grapes were destemmed and crushed. The must (mixture of juice and skins) was fermented in a mixture of temperature controlled stainless-steel and epoxy-lined cement tanks over 8 days. The wine was then pressed off its skins and went through malolactic fermentation to soften acidity and add further complexity. The wine was kept on its yeast lees for a short period before maturing in tanks for 4 months prior to bottling.
Vintage : 2006
Food Choice : Pair with Catalan dishes, barbecued beef or herbed rack of lamb.
