Product Description
Details

The wine Herència Altés La Borrassona is sourced from vineyards located near Batea, one of DO Terra Alta's main wine villages, in the southern Catalan province of Tarragona.

Made by bodega Herència Altés, this Spanish red wine is solely made from Grenache grapes, which were harvested by hand and then refrigerated and meticulously sorted upon arriving at the winemaking facility.

The grapes were fermented with wild yeasts in concrete diposits, performing gentle manual punch-downs during the process. After that, this Crianza red wine was transferred into one 5,000-litre and one 2,500-litre Austrian oak vat, where this vegan wine completed the malo and was aged for 12 months.

Finally, the red wine Herència Altés La Borrassona 2022 was gently stabilized and bottled unfined.

This organic red wine was then stored for a further 12 months before hitting the market.

Aerate this organic and vegan red wine from Terra Alta some time before drinking.

Appearance

The red wine Herència Altés La Borrassona is deep ruby with some reddish reflections.

Nose

Expressive and savoury, this varietal Grenache exhibits raspberries, Morello cherries and strawberries, with hints of herbs de Provence and some toasted, lactic and spicy suggestions.

Palate

This red wine by Herència Altés winery benefits from the light-handed approach that characterizes the winemaking style of the winery. Nice definition, with excellent integration of oak, a stylish acidity, a minty freshness and some ripe tannins, ending with a gently toasted, subtly mineral note.

Our personal opinion

The wine Herència Altés La Borrassona 2022 is a vibrant, inviting Grenache.
