Terra Alta

The Terra Alta denomination is a Spanish appellation located in southern Catalonia, between the Ebro river and the Aragon border. The Terra Alta DO was recognized, albeit on a provisional basis, in 1972, before being definitively recognized in 2011, with strict, precise specifications.

The DO Terra Alta vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean climate. The vineyards are located both on plains and plateaus, at an average altitude of 350-550m, and are sometimes laid out in terraces, alongside the almond and olive trees typical of this region. The soils are limestone, poor in organic matter.

DO Terra Alta produces red, white and rosé wines. Red wines in particular are vinified in different qualities: Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva. These are wines of character, often made from Grenache Noir grapes. White wines are often very fruity, made from Grenache blanc, Muscadelle, Sauvignon blanc and Chardonnay grapes, among others.

Herencia Altés - Garnatxa Negra 2013

Terra Alta|Red wine

90/100 Robert Parker

"Sensational! From vines planted in 1915, Garnacha Negra 2013 is produced in the village of Batea. Eric Solomon, in partnership with Spanish winemaker Nuria Altés, makes this remarkable wine in a cold, high-altitude climate where Grenache lends accents of Pinot Noir. Abundant notes of red cherry, blackcurrant and hints of undergrowth and damp earth are followed by a medium-bodied palate, with fantastic fruit intensity and the richness of old vines. The wine also possesses impressive freshness, vitality and exuberance. Drink over the next two years. (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
