ABADAL

MASIES D'AVINYO (ABADAL), BODEGAS
Masies D'Avinyo, owned by the Roqueta family since 1898, is leading the charge of quality wine production from this, one of the oldest vine growing regions in the world, el Bages, named for Bacchus the Roman god of wine. The vines are cultivated on carefully structured terraces, influenced by a Continental- Mediterranean climate, with low rainfall. This leads to highly structured wines that maintain a freshness and delicacy rarely found in such rich wines.

	Abadal Blanc Year: Blend: 70% Chardonnay, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Picapoll Alcohol: Volume: 750ml Tasting notes: Synergy of structure, exoticism and identity: Blanc. Made from chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and picapoll cold macerated on the skins for 12 hours to extract the full aromatic charge and then ageing on the lees for added complexity we get this vibrant pale straw colored wine, full of citric fruits and tropical fruits in the nose , volume and structure in the mouth with a long and satisfying finish. Blanc is a complex white wine that allows for cellaring and evolution within the glass.
	Mas Oliveras Rose Year: 2006 Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon Alcohol: Volume: 750ml Tasting notes: Brilliant red currant color, wide in the nose with intense aromas of red fruits such as strawberries and raspberries followed by fruit confiture undertones. On the palate it is well balanced, fresh and full-bodied, elegant, and finishing with a long lasting fruity flavour.
	Abadal Cabernet Franc- Tempranillo Year: Blend: 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Tempranillo Alcohol: Volume: 750ml Tasting notes: A conceptual wine of complimentary varieties, fusing tradition with modernity. Cabernet franc, concentrated and generous. Tempranillo, elegant and fresh. Together we get this fusion of toffee and red fruits all within a fine structured and lively body with long persistence in mouth.
	Abadal 5 Merlot Year: Varietal: Merlot (from 5 distinct clones) Alcohol: Volume: 750ml Tasting notes: Five types of merlot on five plots of land: one unique wine showing the utmost expression of the varietal complexity and local Pyrenean terroir. Dark deep purple in color, red currant and cherry in the nose with a full and pleasant presentation in the mouth with spicy flavors, cocoa and a slight balsamic quality found due to the complexity of soil, land, and twelve months of French, American and central European oak used.
	Abadal 3.9 Year: Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Syrah Alcohol: Volume: 750ml Tasting notes: The expression of two plots over time: this is 3.9. Made from the same plot of Cabernet and Syrah year after year, this estate wine exudes personality and character. Deep and dark purple in the glass, pepper , spice with a balsamic edge in the nose followed by full round tannins and mineral expression in the mouth ending with a long smooth finish from the 12 month first use barrels.
