About this WINE
Cervoles Celler
Castell del Remei is one of the great Catalonian bodegas. Located at 300-metres above sea-level, about 120km to the west of Barcelona, its vineyards enjoy a semi-continental climate, granitic soils and a three-century history which is closely linked to that of leading Catalan dynasties. It is the leading property in the denominación of Costers del Segre and also owns the altitudinous ‘boutique’ bodega of Cérvoles, which borders Priorat and produces some of the most fascinating wines of Spain.
Other Varieties
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Description
The blend here is shared between Cabernet Sauvignon 44%, Tempranillo 32%, Garnacha 16% and Merlot 8%. The assemblage has been aged for eight months in finely grained French oak; the resulting wine has enjoyed bottle age and is already harmoniously balanced. Wood-smoke and balsam on the nose are married to cassis and herb; on the palate one encounters black tea, herbs and bitter chocolate. A pleasing and not altogether brief encounter given the wine’s impressive length.
