Mas Rodó Reserva de la Propietat D.O. Penedès 2013, 0,75 L

The wines from Penedès are known for their exceptional maturity and quality grape material, and this outstanding red wine is no exception. While Penedès is renowned for its cava production, its climate nurtures red wines that rival those from neighbouring regions.

This Reserva showcases a ripe, robust Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted from meticulously selected grapes from the estate. Aged for 24 months in new barrels—no more than one year old—this process enhances the wine's structure. Subsequently, it undergoes at least 4 years of bottle ageing before release.

The nose reveals its character from the start: perfectly ripe, with classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of cassis, dark berries, and a touch of vanilla—a true delight that benefits from ample aeration.

On the palate, it is deep, elegant, and remarkably complex, with enticing fruitiness. Ripe, velvety tannins, spiciness, full-bodied with well-balanced acidity, and hints of roasted flavours and minerality from the stony soils contribute to its depth. Powerful and multi-layered, it finishes with impressive length.

This is an exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, well worth the investment, and a delight for wine enthusiasts—perfect for enhancing any tasting experience.
