JEAN LEON VINYA PALAU MERLOT 75CL

Jean Leon Vinya Palau is a red wine from the Peneds prepared by the Jean Leon winery. This wine is a varietal Merlot. Jean Leon Vinya Palau uses grapes from vines planted in 1991 on calcareous clay and sandy soils.The grapes are harvested manually. The grapes are fermented at a controlled temperature of 26 in stainless steel and then macerated for about 16 days. Finally, Jean Leon Vinya Palau undergoes aging in French oak barrels for a year. Prior to marketing, the wine rests in the bottle for another six months. Red Picota cherry colour, with fine depth. On the nose its high intensity and ripe red fruit and cranberry notes stand out, integrated into a background of spicy and toasted aromas. Entry into the mouth is potent, with a perfect balance between its fine tannic structure and an elegant acidity. This organic, limited-production varietal wine originates from the Vinya Palau vineyard. Sweet, round and well structured tannins. Silky, with just a touch of sweetness and rather hedonistic, it has a long drawn out finish. Ideal to accompany poultry dishes such as, for example, magret of duck in red fruit sauce. It also harmonises well with fish, such as cod, with ratatouille or semi-cured cheeses.
