Fruit and oak, smoothness and persistence. The balance between Mediterranean contrasts is rediscovered in Mas Elena, thanks to the coupage of its varieties. The velvety smoothness of the Merlot finds its counterpoint in the structure of the two Cabernets. One reinforces the other and together they merge to form a balanced whole, complete in all its facets.
Harvested by hand and in small crates to avoid oxidation of the must. The three varieties are macerated and fermented separately at a controlled temperature of 25°, after pre-fermentation maceration at 5°C for one week. Aged in 2nd and 3rd year Allier French oak barrels for 8 months.
Intense red with blue hues. A pleasant explosion of fruit on the nose, well balanced with soft notes of barrel ageing. Liquorice and spice undertones enhance its complexity and attractiveness. The entry on the palate is elegant and fresh, fleshy and structured with a long aftertaste. In retronasal, notes of red fruit are perceived very well integrated with the toasted wood.
Pairs well with all kinds of cold meats, stewed meats and cured cheeses.
Region: Penedès, Catalonia, Spain
