Vinya Le Havre Reserva - Jean Leon - 2020

75 cl

Guia Penin: 92 points

Alcohol content: 14.5% vol.

Grape varieties: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc

Vinifiaktion:

Destemming and gentle pressing of the grapes. Fermentation and maceration in stainless steel tanks for 2 weeks. Then aged for 2 years in small American barriques, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. The wine is bottled in May and then matured for a further two years in the bottle to develop its full harmony.

Tasting note:

Intense cherry red colour with chimney red reflections in the glass. Complex on the nose with nuances of dark fruit, blackberry, plum, vanilla and fine roasted flavours in the background. Full-bodied and fruity on the palate, with liquorice, clove and fine tannins. Delicious finish with a roasted coffee flavour.
Excellent with game, savoury and spicy meat dishes and mature cheese.
