Oriol dels Aspres Red is a young red wine that embodies the essence of the D.O. Empordà, crafted by the family winery Vinyes dels Aspres located in Cantallops. This wine is produced from a blend of Garnacha negra, Merlot, and Cariñena grown on slate and granite soils, providing remarkable tension, minerality, and structure. The vinification primarily takes place in stainless steel tanks, using techniques like carbonic maceration to enhance both the aromatic profile and smoothness on the palate. This process ensures a pure expression of the fruit, avoiding wood dominance and seeking characteristic freshness and balance. When served, its brilliant cherry-red color with subtle violet reflections can be appreciated, typical of its youth. On the nose, it presents itself openly and expressively, revealing intense notes of ripe red and black fruits, such as sweet cherries and plums, complemented by touches of cassis, as well as light floral and herbaceous notes, making it a very representative wine of the Mediterranean style. On the palate, it retains its fruity essence, with a juicy and fresh entry. Its acidity is well integrated, resulting in a pleasant and consistent texture. For a young wine, it stands out for its remarkable balance and a persistent finish that leaves a lingering taste of ripe fruit and a slight spicy character.
