Pago Dehesa del Carrizal Dehesa del carrizal Cabernet 2018

Dehesa del Carrizal is a Vino de Pago, the highest category according to Spanish wine law. It is a DOP (Denominación de Origen Protegida – Protected Designation of Origin) reserved for those few wineries and vineyards which carry out the whole process from the grape to the bottle, within the limits of the Pago.The acid soils of the siliceous Mediterranean mountains, a humid climate and 800 meters of altitude create the perfect particular microclimate where 27 hectares of vineyards stands.Our vineyards lie on a raña, which is the local name for slopes and plains at the bottom of a mountain which have been eroded by water and rain and have therefore caused the accumulation of clay and quartz pebbles. The distinctive climate with a wide temperature range between night and day allows a slow and harmonious grape ripening.This way we are able to produce a wine with a clearly distinguishable terroir which stands out thanks to the dedicated craftsmanship of our workers. We add to this process a respect for the land and nature, and our commitment to a responsible, sustainable oenology. GRANDES PAGOS DE ESPANA

 This wine couldn’t be more straight up and down Cabernet Sauvignon! A nose of pure, black fruit, tomato leaf and toasted cedar, with a palate that shows lashings of blackberry, cassis, green capsicum, fresh tobacco and leather. Full bodied but with perfectly balanced tannin and acidity. BARRICA WINES
