Cellars Can Blau `Blau` 2018

Seductive and Nuanced Montsant

Can Blau is an exquisite wine made from 20% Garnacha, 40% Carinena and 40% Syrah. The Garnacha vines thrive in slate soil, the Carinena in clay soil, while the Syrah grows in limestone-rich soil. These vines are between 25 and 40 years old and are planted at an altitude of around 600 metres. The finished wine, a harmonious blend, has matured for 12 months in French oak barrels. The alcohol content is 14.5%.

The wine presents itself with a deep ruby ​​red color. The aroma is intense and complex with notes of dark cherries, plums, smoked wood, spices, lavender and pepper. The taste is full and soft with a dense structure and an impressive length, where the many nuances are expressed. A fine acidity balances the rich and slightly sweet fruit.

Serve the wine at 16-18 degrees, either after an hour of aeration or store it for up to 8 years. It is ideal with dishes such as pizza with spicy salami, mushrooms, tapas, red meat or mature cheeses.

An excellent wine for the price. It is intense, complex and offers a deep and dark fruit profile. This wine delivers far more than the price suggests!
