Marimar Estate Mas Cavalls

Tasting Notes

This is Pinot Noir, a classic in winemaking. The aroma unfolds with blackberry, rhubarb, cranberry, and intriguing earthy notes of underbrush and meat, complemented by delicate floral undertones of lavender and wild rose. The taste is simultaneously soft and full-bodied, with lively acidity and well-integrated tannins. This well-balanced wine has aging potential of 10-15 years. For the best taste, slightly chill it to cellar temperature, 14-16°C.

Production Process

They are then aged in top-quality French oak barrels to achieve multidimensional complexity. Bottled without filtration or clarification, these Pinot Noirs truly express the unique character of the vineyard.
