"The 2005 El Vell Coster is 80% old-vine Carinena and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from Pasanau. Opaque purple-colored, it has an enthralling nose of scorched earth, slate, mushroom, truffle, tar, blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by an opulent, powerful, loaded wine with great concentration and impeccable balance."

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.
