Pedres Blanques Rouge 2023 750ml

Product Info

Terroir
Sourced from vineyards set among pale, stony soils—true to the name “Pedres Blanques” (white stones)—this wine reflects a landscape defined by limestone and rocky substrates. These well-draining soils naturally limit vine vigor, encouraging low yields and concentrated fruit. A warm, sunlit climate ensures full ripening, while elevation and diurnal shifts help retain freshness and aromatic lift. The result is a red that balances ripe Mediterranean character with a distinct mineral edge.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
Crafted with a focus on approachability and varietal expression, the fruit is harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented in temperature-controlled vessels to preserve purity. Extraction is managed carefully to achieve supple tannins and balanced structure without excess heaviness. Aging takes place primarily in neutral containers, allowing the fruit and terroir to remain at the forefront, with minimal oak influence.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in color, the 2023 opens with inviting aromas of ripe red and black berries—cherry, blackberry, and plum—layered with hints of dried herbs, spice, and a touch of earth. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth, with soft, integrated tannins and a core of juicy fruit. Subtle savory notes and a gentle mineral thread add complexity, leading to a clean, balanced finish.

Food Pairing & Service
Versatile and easy-drinking, this wine pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from grilled meats and sausages to roasted vegetables and rustic stews. It also complements tomato-based pastas and casual fare like pizza or charcuterie. Serve slightly below room temperature to highlight its freshness and balance.

Cellaring Potential
Designed for early enjoyment, this wine will show best over the next 3–6 years. While it may develop modest additional complexity with short-term aging, its primary appeal lies in its vibrant fruit and approachable structure.
