Fine spices and olives to the red berries and red cherries on the nose. This is fruity, juicy and dry on the palate with a medium body and svelte tannins. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.
Winemaker Notes
A quite clear Picota cherry red colour with violet rim. Intense aromas of red fruits, redcurrants and ripe yet fresh raspberries. Much more serious in the mouth than you’d expect. With soft pleasant tannins, a fresh entry and good length, it offers an enveloping texture and a splendid concentration of fruit.
Winery Notes
Nuria Altés, like many young vintners in Spain, comes from a family who has grown grapes for generations. Tucked away in a remote corner of Catalunya, Nuria’s new project, Herència Altés, is situated outside the village of Batea, in the DO of Terra Alta. Remarkably Terra Alta is one of the largest wine-growing regions in Cataluyna and one of which few are aware – something Nuria has set about changing. Growing up among the vines that her grandfather tended, Nuria has known these vineyards since her childhood and decided in 2010 to start purchasing grapes from her father to make her own personal wines. In this project, she is assisted by her partner Rafael de Haan, and together, they inaugurated a new cellar for the 2016 vintage located in her hometown of Batea.
