Trenza Family Collection 2016

Trenza Family Collection 2016

A powerful and deep luxury red wine.

The wine is composed of 73% Monastrell, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Garnacha Tintorera. The grapes were carefully hand-picked in small 15 kg boxes from the end of September to the end of October. Each grape variety was vinified separately. After harvest, the grapes were refrigerated for 24 hours before being lightly destemmed. They were then cold macerated for 72 hours at 5°C before fermentation began. The must was manually pumped around and the skins were pushed under the must several times daily during the 16-25 days of fermentation and maceration. The wine was then aged in large new 500 litre French oak barrels, where it underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged for 24 months before being bottled with a light filtration. Only 8232 bottles have been produced.

The wine presents an opaque ruby ​​red color with rich drapes. It has deep and dark aromas of blackberries, black cherries and ripe plums, combined with a rich blend of Asian spices, toasted oak and cigar box. The palate fills the mouth with ripe tannins and a concentrated flavor of black fruits, chocolate, toasted oak and cappuccino. The finish is long and persistent.

Serve the wine at 18-19 degrees. It is a perfect companion to the best piece of beef, a flavorful lamb dish or as an ideal partner to roast duck on Christmas Eve. Remember to let the wine air out at least an hour before serving.

This Family Collection is a top wine from the small Danish-owned winery Bodega Trenza. A mature, sublime, deep and very intense wine experience that offers a fantastic palette of flavor nuances. Very limited quantities!
