Bodega Garzon Cabernet de Corte 75cl 14%
This vibrant blend of Cabernet Franc, Tannat, Merlot and Marselan is packed with aromas of sweet spice, dried herbs and hints of green pepper. Fresh and silky on the palate, flavours of soft black berries are balanced by gentle tannins. This is a very food-friendly wine.
The 2020 vintage was the best in recent years, due to averagely cold temperatures throughout the winter, and stable conditions throughout bud burst which ensured the development of good clusters. The summer saw good diurnal ranges in temperature and little rainfall which allowed the fruit to ripen perfectly, with well balanced levels of sugars and acid. The harvest began on 27th January and ended on 19th March, almost 10 days earlier than usual, yielding fruit of excellent quality and wines of great character and freshness.
The hand-harvested grapes were processed separately. After five days of maceration, fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at 26-28ºC for one week with twice daily pump overs. The wine then remained in stainless steel tanks for a further three to six months on lees before blending and bottling.
