Tasting notes Amfitrió de l'Empordà 2023

Red wine Aged in wood. 14 months in separate containers.

Amfitrió de l'Empordà 2023 dazzles with its medium ruby hue, a sight that invites delight. On the nose, it unfurls a symphony of aromas including wild strawberries and cherries, accented by hints of anise and a subtle floral fragrance reminiscent of violets. Upon tasting, it stands out for being fresh and fluid, with perfect balance. Its tannins are as soft as a whisper, culminating in a gentle finish that leaves a sense of well-being. This wine is ideal for those seeking a red that, although young, offers complexity and charm without demanding a prolonged commitment.

About Amfitrió de l'Empordà

A few years ago, it seemed that everything successful had to originate from abroad: Parisian fashion, Japanese cuisine, German cars, or American series... Everything foreign was synonymous with quality and sophistication. However, now we are experiencing a complete reversal: we only value what is local, what bears a km 0 label or designation of origin. Suddenly, everything from outside appears less authentic or even suspicious. But is one trend truly better than the other? Supporting local products is essential to maintain our identity and bolster the economy of our surroundings, yet forsaking everything foreign deprives us of the opportunity to learn about other cultures, learn from them, and enrich one another. Delfí Sanahuja, oenologist at the renowned winery Peralada, is clear on this; he always seeks a balance between identity and learning. This is evident in the creation of Amfitrió de l'Empordà, a blend that combines indigenous varieties from D.O. Empordà (Catalonia) with foreign varieties that have adapted splendidly to the region's terroir.

Amfitrió de l'Empordà melds the essence of the native garnacha with the best of the foreign varieties syrah, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and cariñena (samsó). Vines are cultivated traditionally and are swiftly transported to the winery at the optimal point of ripeness. There, a classic vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature, and afterwards, the wine is aged in a combination of Bordeaux barrels, foudres, and concrete for 18 months.

Like a gracious host who knows how to make guests feel at ease, Amfitrió de l'Empordà is lively, fluid, fresh, and enduring. A balance between the foreign and the native that embodies the spirit of Perelada.

2022

Amfitrió de l'Empordà 2022 exhibits an enticing ruby red hue with a medium intensity. On the nose, it reveals aromas of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by undertones of dark fruits like blackberries, all enhanced by subtle ageing notes. On the palate, it is fresh and well-balanced, with smooth, rounded tannins. It has a long and pleasant finish, leaving a warm and gentle sensation. A wine to be savoured with every sip.
