Marco Abella Olbieta Negre Tinto 2020

The  Marco Abella Olbieta Negre Tinto is made from that classic Catalan blend of Garnacha, Carignan and Syrah from vines situated at high altitude and not far from the Mediterranean coast. There is a lovely aroma of violets, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, rosemary & thyme along with nice touches of savouriness & spice notes with a silky texture and refreshing acidity. Fresh and youthful this is a great value Catalan Red from a top Priorat winemaker. I will leave you with encouraging words of wisdom from the Capital Gazette (USA) who have provided an excellent summary below as to what make's this new release highly sought after.

''Marco Abella wines are more fresh and elegant than other Catalan wines. Expect pure, concentrated fruit flavors. Production is small, thus making the wines harder to find.''  Tom Marquardt & Patrick Darr, Capital Gazette, (USA)
