New
Cherry red color with a violet rim, thin layer. In the nose, lots of red fruit, currants and raspberries, ripe, but fresh. In the mouth it is much more serious than we could imagine, of fused and friendly tannins, of good travel, friendly and enveloping texture, with good concentration of fruit. Alternated the nerve of youth with the tranquility of maturity.
ELABORATION
Manual harvest with careful selection in the field. The grapes are cooled and partially destemmed before going to the tanks for cold maceration with the skins. When the temperature increases, spontaneous fermentation begins with the wild yeasts, which lasts about 15 days, during which time the daily pigeages ensure a smooth extraction of tannins and color. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 6 months in 50HL Austrian oak foudres.
VARIETIES: Garnatxa Negra 100%

At Herència Altés we are yesterday's footprint in our gaze towards tomorrow.
We are land, landscape, culture, history and innovation.
The vineyard, cultivated in an ecological way and the wine in its maximum expression, are protectors of our landscape and guardians of our biodiversity. In the winery, we have an environmental project, which protects the flora and fauna indigenous of our environment.
At home, we follow a philosophy of minimal intervention, we respect the wines to maintain the essence of the fruit and thus achieve a perfect harmony between the hand of man and what the earth gives us.
Our aging room is totally underground, to have the perfect temperature and humidity throughout the year in a sustainable way. We work with large oak foudres, of 5000 and 2500 liters, with the philosophy of making long aging, but with the minimum impact of the wood.
Fresh, serene, polished and friendly wines.
