Bell Cros is very happy to announce that we are launching a new modern style light/medium bodied red wine; La Colina 2023. The wine is fresh, elegant and easy to drink. 100% Garnacha Negra, EU-organic and vegan certified. It has not been aged in oak and therefore it’s fresh and has the natural taste of the fruity Garnacha Negra grapes. A wine to be shared with friends.
The new vintage 2022 of L'Addició has a new updated tasting profile. 50% of the wine has macerated with the skins for 29 days and is basically an orange wine. The other 50% of the wine has had skin contact for 24 hours and been aged 9 months in new 225 L Swedish oak barrels.
This gives a more concentrated wine, where the yellow tones are more evident, it is aromatically dense and complex with notes of lemon peel, fresh fruits such as peach and apricot, and notes of green tea and fresh mint. On the palate it is opulent and fresh with good acidity and volume. A very pleasant gastronomic wine.
Now it is finally possible to buy Bell Cros wines in Norway, says Henrik Sauleda, owner of Karat vin AS, a new player in Norway since January 2023. Karat vin AS specializes only in Spanish wines. Bell Cros is very much looking forward to the upcoming collaboration and being a part of the start-up stage in a new market and with a new enthusiastic partner, says Peter Skoglund.
Buen Gusto has its origin in Rik Heyvaert's and Guy’s shared passion for Spanish wines and gastronomy. With 100% focus on Spanish products, DO Montsant will be a new appreciated wine region for Buen Gusto.
We are very proud and humble that Bell Cros, La Figaflor 2022, has been awarded as the best wine in the class for white wines made from the Garnacha Blanca grape, in "La Guia de Vins de Catalunya 2024".
La Figaflor 2022 is our first wine produced in our new winery, a state-of-the-art winery that was completed just in time for the 2022 vintage harvest. Bell Cro's ambition is to be one of the top five wine producers in the DO Montsant. The new winery is part of the pursuit of this ambition. This award confirms that we are on the right track.
We are also very happy that our other wines this year have received fantastic scores, something we could only dream of when we started this wine project six years ago.
“La Guia de Vins de Catalunya” is one of the most important and prestigious wine guides in Catalonia, Spain and organizes every year a festival to bring together the professional sector (sommeliers, restaurateurs, press …) with the best wines of the edition. Only those wineries and wines that have scored equal to or more than 9.50 points can attend.
