The Press
'This red Garnacha from Catalonia in northeast Spain is a real find. …..it has an inviting nose, full of unctuous, dark fruit. On the palate, it is extremely drinkable, with silky, soft tannins and a little acidity to give it a bit of lift.'—Will LyonsOur tasting notes

About Catalunya
The small DO of Catalunya is situated north-east of the Iberian Peninsula, just south of the highly esteemed Priorat, and is the highest D.O within Catalonia at 400 metres above sea level. The soil is predominantly limestone and incredibly dry, meaning that it can only really support three main crops: olives, almonds and grapes. As the area is fortunate to have undergone very little replanting, it reaps the benefit of having older vines—producing local varieties such as Grenache, Macabeo and Parellada in whites and Tempranillo, Garnacha negra and Cariñera (Mazuela) in red. However, foreign varietals are also allowed (Cabernet, Merlot, Shiraz, Muscat and Chardonnay).
