The Galena 2021 from the Clos Galena winery is a blend of 35% Grenache, 15% Cariñena, 25% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Manual selection of the grapes. The fermentation and maceration of each grape takes place separately, in stainless steel tanks. The skins are then gently pressed to continue the malolactic fermentation. Finally, the different varieties are mixed before being put in the barrels.
Maturation: 12 months in French oak barrels (90%) and American (10%) and 24 months in bottle.
The Galena 2021 shows a cherry red color with high intensity.
The wine has a remarkable aromatic complexity and a great richness of nuances, where balsamic aromas and dried black fruits predominate, as well as jam, with light notes of black spices. In the mouth it is very fat and fresh, with a powerful but soft first attack that emphasizes the aromas of black spices and minerality.
Perfect with:
Rice and pasta, poultry, white meat, red meat, game, sausages, cold cuts, meat stews, eggs, pâtés, foie gras, blue fish, mature cheeses, vegetables and leafy greens.
GALENA, purple in color, offers an exciting bouquet of cedar, spice box, mineral earth and cherry and blackcurrant. The texture is soft, ripe and complex. This easy-going endeavor is already a pleasure, although it will continue to evolve for 2 or 3 years. Robert Parker
