Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominating grape type of Venta d'Aubert's flagship wine, Dionus. The cuvee is completed with Merlot, Syrah and Garnacha Tinta grapes. Each type is developed separately in predominantly new French oak barrels for two and a half years, before blending and bottling. This is a meaty wine with a well achieved fine fruit acid tannin balance, rich in colour and very long after taste. Although having a good storage potential, this wine is also delightfully drunk in its youth!
Arguably one of the best wines from Empurda, Gran Claustro is outstanding - a perfect blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Carignan and 10% Grenache. Dark cherry in colour, with delicate notes of oak against a backdrop of ripe red fruits and pepper, this is an extremely elegant wine with a long lasting taste. Meaty and concentrated with a very pleasant oily feel of ripe fruits this is one to spoil yourself with - and a few good friends maybe, depending on how generous you feel!
