The cooperative winery in Cases de Pene has produced the Cuvée de Peña Rouge, which is blended by HPS, for more than 20 years. Under the Château de Pena label, they also make a fantastic Côtes du Roussillon Villages red, and a number of Muscats and other sweet wines, for which the Rivesaltes region of the Roussillon is renowned.
Tasting Notes: Layered, red/black fruit character, with great intensity and depth of flavor. Firm tannins on the palate, ending with a long, lingering finish.
