Sensory :
On the nose, Blau 2022 reveals a lively medley of red fruits accented by peach, citrus, and a delicate touch of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied and vibrant, lifted by fresh acidity that owes its energy to Montsant’s nocturnal cooling. Ripe fruit flavors intertwine with spice and a gentle minerality, while carefully controlled oak aging lends structure and elegance without overpowering the wine’s natural charm. Its finish is long, fresh, and beautifully balanced.
Winemaker’s Background:
Cellers Can Blau was established by the Gil family as one of their first projects outside Jumilla, aiming to capture Montsant’s unique terroir through blends of Garnacha, Cariñena, and Syrah. With vineyards planted across varied soils and microclimates, the winery emphasizes expressive, accessible wines that showcase both regional identity and modern craftsmanship. Under the guidance of oenologist Nuria López Sarroca, Can Blau has become a reference point for approachable yet authentic Montsant reds.
Serving Suggestions:
Blau 2022 is best enjoyed slightly cool, between 14–16 ºC, in medium-sized red wine glasses. Its fresh and fruit-driven character makes it a versatile partner to tapas, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and Mediterranean pastas, while its mineral edge allows it to complement spiced dishes with ease.
The 2022 Cellers Can Blau Blau is a vivid and balanced young red, crafted to showcase Montsant’s fruit purity and lively energy with a touch of elegance.
