Rigau Ros Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

Empordà – Land of artists.

"Powerful, pure, tempting"

ORIGIN • DO EMPORDÀ •

Located in the northern part of the Alt Empordà region, Rigau Ros comes from the exclusive vineyards of the village Capmany. These are rocky, mineral soils predominated by granite sand and flecks of slate. Aged between 25 and 30 years old and unirrigated, the vines are forced to push their roots down to reach the water they require. As a result, they are nourished by the deepest substrata, giving the wine its intense, captivating character.

VARIETIES

90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.

PRODUCTION AND AGING

Fermented at controlled temperature of 25°C-28°C and macerated for 25 days. The wine is aged in American oak barrels (Missouri) and French oak barrels (Allier) for 24 months and then, for the rest of the time, in the bottle (minimum 36 months).

On the nose, it has fine and intense aromas (ripe black fruits, coffee, undergrowth) on a toasted background.
