Bell Cros launched in Catalonia!

The day finally arrived. Wine critics and sommeliers in Catalonia were invited to the launch of Bell Cros in the third week of January. Everyone listened to the story of our adventure and sampled our wines during the two-hour tasting. AmoVino winebar in Barcelona was the go-to choice of location for the launch as it specialises in Catalan wines. All six members of Team Bell Cros were at the event and introduced themselves to the guests.

Our winemaker Joan Asens talked about Bell Cros as a vineyard and its qualities for producing unique wines that are characterised by the special environs in Montsant where Bell Cros is situated. He also explained that the vineyard is in the process of transition to organic farming. It is run as an organic vineyard today and will be officially certified organic by the Catalan Council of Organic Agricultural Production (CCPAE) at the end of 2021 and will then be allowed to use the EU green leaf ecolabel.

In addition to our only wine so far “El Tracte 2017” which is made entirely from the Carignan grape, the event marked the launch of two new wines that have just been bottled. El Camí, a crisp and full-bodied red wine with soft and inviting tannins made from 79% Carignan, 11% Garnacha Negra and 10% Tempranillo. L’Addició, a full-bodied white wine with a complex aromatic profile, made from 88% Garnacha Blanca and 12% Macabeo. We will be introducing two new crisp and easy-sipping wines, one white and one rosé, in the spring.

Miguel Figini, who is responsible for sales in Spain and for looking after all our guests, presented the new visitors’ programme. We want our visitors to enjoy a different and rewarding experience when they come to Bell Cros. Our visitor activities are based on three pillars: learning, joining in and having fun. We’ll be telling you more about this and our new wines on our new updated website.

So now we have officially introduced Bell Cros in Catalonia and we are hoping shortly to be able to announce who will be the distributor for our wines in both Catalonia and Sweden.
