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, it was transferred into clay amphorae and 500-litre Austrian oak vat, where this vegan wine completed the malo and was aged for 5 months.
Finally, the red wine Herència Altés La Borrassona 2025 was gently stabilized and bottled unfined.
This organic red wine was then stored for some months before hitting the market.
Aerate this organic and vegan red wine from Terra Alta some time before drinking.
