Terra Alta DO, Catalonia, Spain - 95% Garnacha, 5% Carignan
It’s cherry-garnet in colour, with ripe berry aromas and a pretty touch of violet. On the palate, baked blackberry, plum and fresh herbs meet firm, leathery tannins, making a fresh red you’ll keep coming back to. Terra Alta means “high land,” and the vineyards sit on a plateau in Catalonia’s southernmost wine region. Pair it with BBQ, roasted meats, game, mild curries or soft washed-rind cheeses. A smooth Spanish crowd-pleaser!
