Details and technical informations about Bodega Susuena's Premium Cupage Cabernet Sauvignon - Syrah.
Discover the grape variety: Carignan
Intensely coloured and powerful reds with a deep colour, firm tannins and high acidity, on aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, garrigue, pepper, liquorice and balsamic notes. Old vines (>50 years, often centenary) yield exceptional cuvées. A historical pillar of Languedoc-Roussillon blends (Corbières, Minervois, Fitou, Maury) and star of Catalan Priorat under the name Cariñena. Very late-ripening variety from Aragon, also called Mazuelo in Rioja.

The wine region of Vinos de Pago
Top of the Spanish quality pyramid (above DOCa and DO), reserved for 25 exceptional estates. Estate wines, grapes and vinification exclusively on site, 10 years of track record. All styles: concentrated, barrel-aged Cabernet, Syrah and Tempranillo reds (Dominio de Valdepusa, Arínzano, Pago de Otazu), maker's blends, a few ambitious whites. Great stylistic freedom.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
