Celler Pasanau Finca La Planeta 2020

Cellar for up to 15 years. Decant for 1 hour or more before serving.

This Finca La Planeta wine is a deep crimson colour in the glass. It is crafted blend of a Cabernet Sauvignondominated blend, those grapes that grow in the sunbaked hills of Priorat. It opens with a medley of dark fruit scents, balanced outby fresh herby hints of eucalyptus, liquorice, and mint.

Celler Pasanau is a small family winery, farming vineyards located entirely within the region of La Morera de Montsant. Their land encompasses a variety of soils and microclimates, but the vineyard of Finca La Planeta, where this wine originates from, is dominated by schist soils. In the 1980s, the vineyard was taken over by Richard Pasanau, who oversaw the wineries’ modernisation and a huge increase in production.

Although it is often overshadowed by Rioja, the region of Priorat in Catalonia is becoming the go-to location for brilliant wines at a reasonable price. This one is no exception, loaded with flavours of sour cherry, dried herbs, plum, eucalyptus, and cassis. It is a fruit-driven wine, with excellent length and pleasant acidity. Finca La Planeta is ideal for pairing with red meat, tomato broth, or a hard cheese.
