The colour is intense and lively with a core of garnetwith a bright ruby rim. Stony minerality overlay black fruits and spice on
the nose. On the palate, the wine is full bodied with luscious sweet fruit and soft tannins. Fresh berry fruit and toasty notes enrich the structure and natural complexity of the old vines.
ELABORATION
Grapes are all harvested by hand using 18Kg boxes respecting the times according to the variety and the terroir. Before entering the winery the grapes are chilled to 4ºC for 24 hours. After destemming (leaving a 25% of whole bunches), the grapes enter to different types of tanks (stainless, concrete and wood) where maceration takes place and spontaneous fermentation with wild yeast begins. Post ferment, the Garnatxa Peluda passes to 2,500 liter foudres, Syrah completes malolactic fermentation and aging in 600L barrels and Garnatxa Negra rest in 500L barrels, all aged for 12 months.
VARIETIES: 72% Garnatxa Peluda, 22% Syrah and 6% Garnatxa Negra
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.
