Château de Péna - Rivesaltes Tuilé Hors d'Age
2*Étoiles
Hachette
"Remarkable length and dried fruit flavors conferred by the rancio (Hachette)".
"Aged for several years (over 5 years for Hors d'âge) in an oxidative environment using the solera technique, where the older wine "educates" the younger wines, this Grenache is presented in a very dark mahogany tile. The nose is superb: roasting, spices, dried figs, wax notes from the old foudres, dried fruits from the rancio. Continuing with notes of coffee and walnut, the palate is powerful, rich, coated, full-bodied, well-supported by a fresh hint of volatility, with the added bonus of a remarkable length on dried fruits conferred by the rancio".

About the wine:
Aged for several years (over 5 years for Hors d'âge) in an oxidative environment using the solera technique, where the older wine "educates" the younger wines, this Grenache is presented in a very dark mahogany tile. The nose is superb: roasting, spices, dried figs, wax notes from the old foudres, dried fruits from the rancio.

About the domain :
The village of Cases-de-Pène takes its name from a 10th-century hermitage built on a limestone rock (penaen catalan) that closes the Agly valley. The black schistous soil alternates with the ochre of the clay-limestone, forming two superb terroirs on which the twenty or so winegrowers of the local cooperative, founded in 1942 and representing 280 ha of vines, work.
