Herencia Altés Cupatge Negre D.O. Terra Alta
- Vegan and Organic
Herència Altés is land, landscape, culture, history and innovation. The vineyard, cultivated in an ecological way and the wine in its maximum expression, are protectors of our landscape and guardians of our biodiversity. In the winery, we have an environmental project, which protects the flora and fauna indigenous of our environment.
Manual gathering of the grape varietals individually occurs prior to vinification, where partial treading and skidding is conducted-followed by pre-cold maceration and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. Aging in large Austrian oak foudres for 6 months precedes the blending process and bottling.
On the palate the sweetness of the Garnacha and the strength of the Syrah come together to draw a wine full of ripe black fruit, such as blackberries and plums. Balance and harmony in the mouth, with good concentration and pleasant texture.
