The sweetness of the garnacha and the strength of syrah are combined to draw a wine full of red and black fruit, such as blackberries and plums. Balance and harmony in the mouth, with a good concentration and measured texture. Fruit tannin, ripe and kind. Very juicy.
ELABORATION
Manual harvest of the varieties separately with careful selection in the field. Each variety is made separately but following the same guidelines: partial destemming and crushing prior to vatting with cold pre-maceration. Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts accompanied by daily pigeages. FML and aging in Austrian oak barrels for 6 months. The separate wines are then blended before bottling.

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.
