Decanter’s 10 Top Full Bodied Spanish Reds April 2021
100% Cariñena/Carignan
Organic
"This wine is made exclusively from Cariñena/Carignan (called Samsó in Catalunya) from ancient 80 years old vines grown in poor, rocky and calcareous soil called “tapàs blanc”, from which Romans extracted stones for their buildings. Thanks to soil’s austerity, Cariñena offers a unique expression, with a high concentration, rich in nuances and complexity. Aromas display a series of black fruit and forest berries, along with floral aromas. The wine’s potential longevity is displayed on the palate, with a smooth entry, full-bodied, complex and a long spicy finish."
- Winemakers Notes
This super premium wine made Decanter magazine’s “Full-bodied Spanish red wines: 10 top bottles worth seeking out” list in April 2021. Master of Wine Sarah Jane Evans said “Terra Alta is Garnacha country, but in this single-vineyard Cariñena impresses. Its slatey, earthy aroma is followed by a palate laden with plump blueberry fruit, definitely fresh with notes of liquorice, and with a distinctly chalky, graphite finish. Long, warm, enveloping finish.”
