Winemaker Notes
65% Tempranillo, 20% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon." Aged for 10 months in 2-4 year old French oak." Consistently called one of Spain's greatest wine values, this wine like most from this small D.O. of Costers del Segre in Western Catalonia tends to be more spice driven with high fruit concentration and often a "sauvage" character that is quite appealing and delicious.

Spanish red wine is known for being bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy, Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained—and flourished—only through a great understanding of Spain’s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.
Of the Spanish red wines, the most planted and respected grape variety is Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Priorat specializes in bold red blends, Jumilla has gained global recognition for its single varietal Monastrell and Utiel-Requena has garnered recent attention for its reds made of Bobal.
