The vineyard itself and the less productive plots allow us to select the best raw material for this wine. A very intense and perfumed nose of black and red fruits, ripe and sweet but fresh, are combined with the fair wood, well fused, which gives it aromas of sweet spice and delicate notes of roasted. Powerful mouth, broad texture, long and deep, mellow and friendly tannin with a long and tasty finish.

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.
