Intramurs de Poblet Negre · 2024
Intramurs de Poblet Negre 2021 is a young, fresh red wine from the Conca de Barberà region of Catalonia, inspired by the rich tradition of the Monastery of Poblet. Made from a blend of Syrah and Tempranillo, it combines the elegance and freshness of these classic varieties. Its vinification in stainless steel preserves the primary aromas and flavours, while a brief time in oak adds depth and complexity. It has a bright cherry red colour with violet hues. On the nose, aromas of fresh red fruits such as cherries and raspberries stand out, accompanied by floral and spicy notes. On the palate, it is smooth, balanced and fresh, with round tannins and a lingering finish. Perfect for pairing with tapas, white meats, pasta, cold meats and soft cheeses, it is a versatile wine ideal for both informal meals and special occasions.

About the vineyard[+]
In keeping with many Spanish wine-growing regions, after the Arab involvement, it was the monasteries that gave an impetus to the cultivation of vines. In this region in particular, the impressive Monasterio de Poblet was responsible for the reintroduction of vine growing. Another important point is that this was the district where in 1894, and as a direct result of wanting to restore vines after the phylloxera epidemic, the community's first wine-producing cooperative was established. Today the region boasts as many as six splendid cooperatives with buildings constructed at the beginning of the 20th Century in the modernist style. The DO Cava allows this product to be made here, along with base wine for other Cavas produced in the region, and a large number of the grapes grown are destined for this purpose. Even so, many wineries have decided to opt for creating quality still wines using foreign varieties blended with indigenous ones. The locally-grown, native Trepat grape is especially important in the production of characterful rosés, apart from being the base for many rosé Cavas. Located in the north of Tarragona province (Mediterranean climate) and bordering on the Lleida plain (Continental climate), the region receives protection from the mountain ranges that filter the influences of the two climates, thereby obtaining the best of both. The soil lacks any calcareous content and there is a marked contrast in the day and night-time temperatures, assuring the quality of the grapes.
