Sonpuig Crianza - Sonpuig

The powerful Sonpuig Crianza from the Sonpuig estate flows into the glass with a dense purple-red color. When the glass is tilted slightly, a transition of the wine color towards garnet red can be seen at the rim of this barrel-aged wine. When swirling the glass, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which is evident in pronounced church windows on the glass wall. This Spanish cuvée beguiles the glass with wonderfully complex notes of currant, blueberry, blackberry and plum. There are also hints of chocolate, blueberry and black cherry.

At the same time, it never seems meager or austere, as one would naturally expect from a wine in the premium and single-vineyard segment. Powerful and complex, this silky and velvety red wine presents itself on the palate. Thanks to the moderate acidity, the Sonpuig Crianza caresses the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel, without sacrificing juicy liveliness.
