WINE DESCRIPTION

Cara Nord Negre is a red wine produced by Cara Nord Celler, a winery located in the D.O. Conca de Barberà appellation in Catalonia, Spain. The vineyards are situated at high altitudes, ranging from 400 to 800 meters above sea level, which allows for slow ripening and the development of complex flavors. The wine is made from a blend of Garnacha, Monastrell, and Shiraz grapes, which are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is aged in French oak barrels for 6 months, giving it a smooth and elegant character with notes of red fruit, spices, and a hint of minerality. Cara Nord Negre is a great example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Conca de Barberà region.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Aromas of ripe cherries, dark currants, and blackberries make up the nose of this Cara Nord Negre.On the palate, it has a medium-bodied texture with a round tannic structure. It is well-rounded and balanced with a hint of spice and a long, silky finish. Enjoy this red blend with beef, game, and robust cheeses.
