BESTUÉ Finca Santa Sabina 75cl

THE SERIOUS RED FOR HEARTY DISHES: Structured, fleshy and balanced, Finca Santa Sabina is the family's red for slow cooked stews and spoon dishes. This one is silky and velvety with a long finish. It was one of the first wines made at the family winery. A 5 HECTARE PLOT AT 400 METRES: The grapes come from Finca Santa Sabina, a 5 hectare plot in the Enate valley at 400 metres, at the foot of the Aragonese Pyrenees. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the wine, giving deep colour, dark fruit and a structured frame. HAND PICKED AT DAWN, 15 MONTHS IN OAK: Harvested into 20 kilo crates, the grapes are cold soaked for six days at 8°C. The cap is worked by hand twice daily, and the wine ages for 15 months in oak, half in new barrels and half in barrels used once before. FROM VINE GROWERS SINCE 1640: Bodega Otto Bestué holds records of the family buying vineyard plots in Enate from 1640. When Lorenzo Otto Bestué and his father built their new winery in the late 1990s, Santa Sabina was among the first wines they released. PLUM, BLUEBERRY, COCOA & SPICE: Ruby red with violet tones, it opens with plum, blueberry and raspberry, joined by cocoa, toast and spice from barrel ageing. Silky and velvety, with a long finish. Pour it with stews, roasts, bean dishes or cured cheeses.
