"Bright ruby-red. High-pitched aromas of blackcurrant, tar, exotic fruits, roasted nuts and cedar. Supple, juicy flavors of dried red fruits are given clarity by vibrant, ripe acidity. Very elegantly styled but also boasts terrific grip. Finishes with firm but suave tannins and impressive length."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
A rugged Catalan region whose steep llicorella slate slopes produce dense, mineral Garnacha and Carinena. Low yields and old vines give wines of great intensity and concentration.
One of only two wines with Spain's top DOQ status, yielding dense, mineral Garnacha and Carinena from steep slate slopes.
