Bassus Finca Casilla Herrera 2017 is a red wine that exemplifies the essence of the Utiel Requena designation of origin. This wine is produced at the prestigious Bodegas Hispano Suizas using a blend of grape varieties, including Bobal, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Syrah. Fermentation takes place in 400-liter barrels of American and Central European oak, allowing the wine to develop complexity and richness in its aromas. Its aging extends over 11 months, during which it matures in American oak barrels and Allier French oak barrels, adding elegant wood notes and a distinctive character. In appearance, it presents an intense cherry red color of medium-high depth. The nose is a feast of aromas, combining red fruits with subtle balsamic and vanilla notes, enriched by a toasted wood finish that invites enjoyment of its complexity. On the palate, Bassus Finca Casilla Herrera is velvety, showing a broad, mature body where red fruits stand out again and a lingering roasted finish offers a memorable tasting experience. This wine is not only ideal for pairing with meals but is also enjoyed alone, inviting quiet reflection.
