"An altogether different animal, the 2006 Corelium is sourced from a single vineyard in the village of El Lloar with vines ranging in age from 70 to 100 years. A blend of 90% Carinena and 10% Garnacha, the wine spent 16 months in new 300 liter French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up exotic aromas of cinnamon, anise, sandalwood, slate, underbrush, and black cherry. Complex and sexy on the palate, this large-scaled effort will evolve . . ."

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.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
