2018 Castell d'Encus 'Quest' Red Blend Pyrenees Catalunya

Winemaker Notes:  Intense red wine, with notes of ratatouille and paprika with small hints of sandalwood, medlars and serves on the nose. Quite spicy, long and tense with light notes of roasted vegetables on the mouth. Persistent finish, with notes of blueberries, chilli and coffee.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "An herbal and peppery red Bordeaux blend, the 2018 Quest was produced with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot that fermented in 12th-century stone lagars, followed by malolactic and 18 months of aging in brand-new French barriques. It's complex, intense and juicy, with round tannins and very peppery sensations on the palate. It has 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.5, with good freshness and acidity. It's still young and lively and should evolve nicely in bottle. 10,500 bottles and 200 magnums produced. It was bottled in March 2020."
