Enate, Varietales, D.O. Somontano, red wine, 0.75l

Enate Varietales 2021 is an elegant and complex red wine from D.O. Somontano in Spain, created as a harmonious blend of three key varieties, namely Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, grown in Enate's own vineyards, hand-harvested and vinified separately to preserve the character of each variety. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, malolactic fermentation follows, along with subsequent ageing for 18 months in new French oak barrels, which gives the wine a rich structure, deep colour and complex aromatics. The nose blends black and red fruit with floral, spicy and mineral notes, while on the palate the wine is well structured with velvety tannins, balanced acidity and a long finish full of nuance and freshness.

Label: The original artwork for Enate was designed by the artist Salvador Victoria, part of the winery's philosophy of linking wine with art and an aesthetic experience.

Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, three iconic red varieties that together create a harmonious and complex blend.

Ageing and production: Separate fermentation of the varieties in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, followed by malolactic fermentation and 18 months of ageing in new French oak barrels, through which the wine gains depth, structure and subtle woody nuances.

Tasting notes: The wine is dominated by intense notes of black fruit (e.g. blackberries, plums), subtle floral accents and spicy nuances, complemented by velvety tannins and balanced acidity, which give the wine freshness as well as elegance.

Food pairing: Recommended serving temperature 16–18 °C. It pairs beautifully with braised and roasted meats, grilled red meat, game, charcuterie and dishes with a more pronounced flavour, and thanks to its complexity it also perfectly complements rich sauces, ragouts or mature cheeses.
