The Las Cuadras Tinto 2024 from Costers del Sil is a red wine that embodies the freshness and vibrancy of the internal Catalonia terroir. Produced in the D.O. Costers del Segre, this blend of Garnacha and Syrah is born in a continental microclimate that gives the sip a dynamic character, focusing entirely on the purity of the fruit and drinking pleasure.
Costers del Sió - "Las Cuadras" Tinto 2024 (Costers del Segre)
The Las Cuadras is a tribute to the estate's history (formerly dedicated to horse breeding, hence the name "the stables") and its wild nature. The 2024 vintage is a modern and accessible wine, where Garnacha brings floral and small red fruit notes, while Syrah provides structure, color, and a slight dark spice. The winemaking process is designed to preserve the aromatic integrity of the grapes, avoiding over-extraction or excessive oak, resulting in a crisp, juicy, and very versatile red. It is the ideal wine for those seeking Spanish elegance in a less muscular and more Mediterranean key.
Sensory Profile In the glass, it shines with an intense ruby red with youthful purplish reflections. The bouquet is an explosion of fresh wild berries: raspberry, cherry, and blackberry, accompanied by delicate notes of violet and a hint of black pepper typical of Syrah. On the palate, the entry is soft and inviting; the tannins are silky and well-refined, supported by a pleasant freshness that makes the sip smooth. The finish is clean, with fruity returns and a slight mineral trace that recalls the estate's calcareous soils.
Winemaking and Aging The grapes are harvested mechanically during the cooler hours of the night to prevent oxidation. After destemming, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Maceration is short and delicate, aimed at extracting color and aromas without weighing down the tannic structure. The wine ages for several months in steel and/or in large, exhausted wooden containers to stabilize, maintaining the fragrance of the primary fruit intact before bottling.
Food Pairings An extremely eclectic red at the table. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats, land-based tapas, Iberian cured meats, and medium-aged cheeses. Thanks to its freshness, it is also excellent with pasta dishes with ragù, gourmet pizzas, or Mediterranean cuisine dishes based on grilled vegetables and legumes. Served slightly chilled (14-15°C), it also wonderfully accompanies flavorful baked oily fish.
