Finca Garbet by Castillo Perelada is more than just a Syrah; it is a masterpiece crafted at the junction of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea, embodying the spirit of Spain’s historic Empordà region. As you pour a glass of this exquisite wine, you join a centuries-old legacy, steeped in tradition and refined by modern innovation.
The Pinnacle of Spanish Viticulture: Finca Garbet
Finca Garbet is the flagship single-vineyard wine from Castillo Perelada, a name synonymous with excellence in Spanish winemaking. Situated in the illustrious Empordà region of Catalonia, Spain, this wine is celebrated for its exceptional quality, exquisite terroir, and sophisticated winemaking processes, marking it as the archetype of Spanish Syrah and a benchmark for Mediterranean fine wines.
Perfect Location and Terroir
Finca Garbet is perfectly positioned between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees, perched on steep, sea-facing terraces that maximize sunlight. The vineyard’s slate-dominated soils are nutrient-poor but ideal for producing low-yield, high-quality grapes. This unique terroir imparts a complexity and minerality to the wine, further enhanced by the refreshing tramontana breeze that defines the local microclimate. This mix of sea freshness, mountain air, and nurturing sun gives Finca Garbet its distinctive character.
Meticulous Winemaking Craftsmanship
Renowned for its meticulous winemaking, Finca Garbet’s Syrah grapes are hand-harvested, ensuring that only the best fruit is selected. The grapes undergo a gentle maceration process to enhance flavor and aromas. This is followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature, with extended maceration to guarantee complete flavor extraction. Aged for 12 months in 300-litre oak barrels, the wine develops a subtle oak influence and complexity, later refined with further bottle aging before release.
Tasting the Essence of Empordà
Upon first glance, Finca Garbet erupts in a deep garnet red with alluring purple hues. The nose captivates with rich aromas of ripe blackberry and dark cherry, coupled with roasted herbs and Mediterranean garrigue accents. On the palate, it is robust yet balanced, enveloped in rich dark fruit flavors and a touch of minerality and oak-derived vanilla and coconut nuances. It showcases a well-rounded tannin structure that lingers with a refreshing, herbal finish.
Pairing and Serving
A versatile partner to culinary creations, Finca Garbet complements a diverse array of dishes from grilled and roasted red meats like beef and lamb to hearty stews and aged hard cheeses such as Manchego. Its freshness allows it to pair well with complex, spiced dishes, while its tannins stand up against rich, fatty meats.
For the full experience, serve Finca Garbet slightly chilled at 16-18°C, ideally after allowing it to breathe for an hour in a decanter to unlock its aromatic and flavor depths. This helps accentuate the wine’s complexity and aromatic profile, ensuring a delightful sensory journey with every sip.
A Collector’s Dream
Finca Garbet not only impresses with its flavor profile but also holds remarkable aging potential, making it highly collectible for wine connoisseurs. With each passing year, the aromas evolve, the flavors integrate, and the wine gains complexity.
Regarded as one of Spain’s finest Syrahs, Finca Garbet’s limited production makes it a sought-after gem in any wine collection. Its illustrious history, combined with modern winemaking excellence, cements its place as a centerpiece in the collection of discerning wine lovers around the globe.
