Bodegas Clos Galena presents the Red Wine Secrets de Mar Negre from the D.O. Terra Alta (Spain), crafted from various grape varieties 60% CARIÑENA | 35% GARNACHA | 5% SYRAH Awards: 90 POINTS · James Suckling The Red Wine Secrets de Mar Negre is a captivating expression of the Mar Negre wine region, crafted with a distinctive blend of local varieties. With 60% Cariñena, 35% Garnacha and a touch of Syrah (5%), this wine reflects the richness and depth of the old vines over 30 years old that nourish it.

The grapes are carefully hand-selected, ensuring only the best quality for each harvest. Transported in 15-kilo boxes, the grapes arrive at the winery ready to begin their transformation into a wine of unique character.

Fermentation and maceration take place in stainless steel tanks for approximately 20 to 25 days at controlled temperatures between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius. After gentle pressing, the obtained wine is separated to get only the highest quality part, while the rest is reserved for other blends.

Malolactic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel for approximately 30 days to soften and refine the wine. Finally, part of the wine ages in French oak barrels for 4 months, adding subtle notes of spices and vanilla to the final blend. The result is an intriguing wine with a well-defined structure and complex flavors. Secrets de Mar Negre presents a deep red hue and unfolds tempting aromas of ripe red fruits, spices and subtle oak notes.

On the palate, it is balanced and silky, with smooth tannins and a persistent finish. This wine is a true treasure of the Mar Negre region, capturing the essence and history of these centenary vineyards in every sip.
