Silvae Red Wine, with Denomination of Origin Penedès, is an oenological jewel that emerges from the lush lands of the Mediterranean. This region, located in the province of Barcelona, Spain, has historically been known for the production of quality wines, and Silvae is no exception.
Carménère is a grape variety originating in Bordeaux, France, which had its heyday in the 19th century. However, a phylloxera plague decimated the vineyards of Europe at that time, and the variety almost disappeared. Fortunately, some Carménère vines found refuge in Chile, and for decades, it was believed to be a variety of Merlot. It was only in the 1990s that a DNA analysis revealed its true identity, and since then, Carménère has been valued for its uniqueness and distinctive character.
In the heart of the Penedès wine region of Spain are the Silvae vineyards, where the Mediterranean climate and chalky soil provide an ideal environment for growing Carménère. The Silvae winery has opted for this variety, which has adapted perfectly to the local conditions, developing high quality grapes with a unique expression in the terroir.
The production of Silvae Red Wine begins with a meticulous selection of the grapes in the vineyard. Once harvested, the grapes are carefully destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks under strict supervision to maintain the freshness and fruity aromas characteristic of Carménère. Part of the magic of this wine lies in its maturation in French and American oak barrels during an optimal period to achieve balance and complexity. This process allows the aromas of ripe black fruits, green peppers and subtle spicy notes to integrate elegantly, offering an exceptional sensory experience.
