L’Ocell Red Wine

The Red Wine L’Ocell, crafted by Celler Hidalgo Albert, is a faithful representative of the winemaking richness of the Denominación de Origen Montsant in Spain. This wine is composed of a balanced combination of Garnacha, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, three grape varieties that contribute complexity, character and a wide range of both aromatic and gustatory nuances.

The winemaking process begins with meticulous hand harvesting, where grape clusters are collected in small 15 kg boxes to prevent the grapes from being crushed and deteriorating before reaching the winery. This careful selection of the fruit ensures that only grapes at their optimal ripeness are used, thus guaranteeing the best possible quality. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, destemming and gentle pressing take place before beginning fermentation in stainless steel vats, a method that preserves the fruit aromas and natural freshness of the grapes. This approach ensures that the distinctive characteristics of each variety are expressed in a balanced and harmonious way. The next step is bottling, which is carried out following a very careful process. Before bottling the wine, gentle filtration is performed to ensure its purity and clarity. What’s particular about this wine is that its bottling is done on the most favorable date to maximize the development of its aromas and organoleptic qualities, following the lunar calendar. This traditional method, respectful of natural cycles, seeks to enhance the wine’s best characteristics, resulting in a unique sensory experience. The Red Wine L’Ocell is characterized by its balance between freshness and complexity. The Garnacha contributes notes of ripe red fruits, while the Syrah adds depth and spicy touches, complemented by the structure and firmness provided by Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s a versatile wine, ideal for pairing with red meats, game dishes and aged cheeses.
