ABOUT THIS WINE
Drac Magic Negre is a red wine from Catalonia, Spain, produced by Tomas Cusiné SL. The grapes are grown in vineyards located in El Vilosell, at an altitude exceeding 700 meters. This high elevation, combined with a Mediterranean climate moderated by cooler temperatures, promotes slow grape ripening. The wine is a blend of Garnacha, Carignan, and Syrah. Tomàs Cusiné, the founder, established his winery in 2003 with a focus on quality winemaking, diversity, and consistency, aiming to create complex, fresh, and enduring wines. The winery has received recognition, including being named Best Winery in Catalonia in 2012.
