WINE DESCRIPTION

Penya Côtes Catalanes Rouge is a red wine produced by the renowned producer, Penya. The wine comes from the Côtes Catalanes appellation, which is known for its unique vineyard features, including a warm and dry climate, as well as a diverse range of soils. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of grapes, which are then fermented and aged in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied red, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak. Its bold and flavorful profile makes it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Penya Côtes Catalanes Rouge offers a nose of ripe cherries and blackberries, with hints of violets and herbs.On the palate, it has a medium body with a smooth texture, with intense flavors of cherries and blackberries, and a hint of licorice. The finish is long, with a subtle hint of oak and a pleasant acidity. An enjoyable and well-balanced wine that pairs nicely with grilled meats and vegetables.

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
