Cabrida Calissa

100% Garnacha from Limestone soils.

Deep dark and intense ruby color. Nose carries peppery notes with some dried herbs. Entrance on the palate is unctuous and full of red fruits and moves to a beautiful balance with an arrange of floral and herbal notes. Medium to full body with fresh acidity that keeps this wine vibrant and very alive, and ready to hold a good aging in bottle. Finish is long and showing a very well integrated tannic structure. The oak is elegantly showing its notes through cooked berries, tabaco and leathery notes.

Lamb or pork chop plates will go nicely with this elegant and vibrant red, although it would withstand a wide arrange of plates, such as roasted vegetables, fried rice and your classic table of cheese and charcuterie.

    Medium deep ruby red colour. Fine perfume offering rose petal with raspberry, plum, pain d’épices and dried herbs. The palate balances a high ripeness and concentration with a fresh acidity and plenty of really fine grainy tannin, elegant red fruit flavours with a long and finely spicy finish.
