Red wine | Empordà
The Cop de Vent Negre Jove 2022 from Cavas Hill is a testament to the unique terroir of the Empordà region. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Garnatxa Negra, two grape varieties that thrive in the challenging climate shaped by the Tramuntana winds.
Imagine vineyards kissed by the Mediterranean sun and buffeted by strong, northerly winds – this is Empordà. Cavas Hill has masterfully captured the essence of this region in a bottle, creating a wine that is both youthful and complex.
On the nose, the Cop de Vent Negre Jove 2022 offers intense aromas of red fruits, particularly strawberry and raspberry. There is a hint of wild herbs as well and a touch of earthy notes, reminiscent of the forests surrounding the vineyards.
On the palate, the wine is dry and medium-bodied with a refreshing acidity that brings the wine into balance. The red fruit flavors are prominent, complemented by subtle notes of spice. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, creating a smooth and pleasing texture. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of ripe fruit and a touch of minerality.
This wine is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. Consider pairing it with grilled meats, such as lamb chops or grilled pork loin. It also complements dishes featuring roasted vegetables, especially those with Mediterranean herbs. For a vegetarian option, try it with a hearty lentil stew or a mushroom risotto. Also a good pair for charcuterie boards or tapas.
Cop de Vent Negre Jove is more than just a wine; it's an expression of the land and the people who cultivate it. It's a celebration of the youthful spirit of Empordà and a reminder of the simple pleasures in life.
