Herencia Altes, Garnatxa Negro 2025

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.

Herència Altés Garnatxa Negra is a captivating Spanish wine from Catalonia's Terra Alta region. Its bouquet delights with a symphony of ripe cherries, wild blackberry, and aromatic herbs. On tasting, it smoothly reveals a medium-bodied richness paired splendidly with subtle hints of pepper and dried herbs. A blend of fruitiness and earthiness, this wine lingers on the palate, leaving a soft, refined finish. Beside its impressive balance of tannin and acidity, this Garnatxa Negra impresses with its craft, echoing the region's traditions and the skilled winemakers of Herència Altés. It is the epitome of a true Spanish red.

The Garnatxa Negra is made from organically grown grapes. It opens with a delicate red fruit profile featuring cherry, rose petals and a hint of rosehip. Juicy, slender and vibrant, it delivers focused fruit and a lively, youthful expression. A clean, fresh profiled Garnatxa. (Joaquín Hidalgo, 01/11/2025, Vinous)
