Chiens Catalans Rouge 2019

From the Catalunya Nord, otherwise know as the Roussillon, this delightful fruity red wine is created from a field blend of Carignan and Grenache Noir, both of which are native to the region. The soils are composed of clay and silt.

A deep cherry red with burgundy highlights. Slightly smoky on the nose, the grenache adds it's trademark black berry flavors and a hint of garrigue whilst the Carignan gives this vibrant color, lovely tannins and fresh acidity. Cranberry, strawberry and raspberry are evident as well as subtle notes of floral notes such as rose petal and violets. Excellent length and tannins.
