Buena intensidad en nariz con una fruta roja bien madura (grosellas y arándanos rojos) y suaves toques de fruta negra (moras), suaves tostados de la barrica bien finos y poco presentes, notables notas especiadas con pimientas en grano que se ven suavizadas por unos frescos toques balsámicos (regaliz rojo) en el que predominan los mentolados, intenso en romero fresco y suaves notas vegetales (pimiento rojo) y un ligero fondo de terruño con recuerdos de piedra mojada.

| Tomàs Cusiné Producer website After many years of working in the family wine production, Tomàs Cusiné set out in 2003 to create his own winery in the
village of El Vilosell (between Llleida/Lerida and Tarragona). Most of his wines are blends of a handful of varieties, both local and international. Currently, he exports about 3/4 of his production.Red Blend.Spain Vinos de España - Wines of Spain (Instituto Español de Comercio Exterior) | Wikipedia

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.Catalunya Map on weinlagen-infoCosters del SegreCosters del Segre encompasses several subzones in inland Catalonia. They all share a location along the river Segre, largely calcareous soils and a relatively continental climate with still some mediterranean influence. The DO was created in 1988 with a strong influence of the large producer Raïmat. A large number of varieties, both Spanish and international is covered by this DO. |
