2019 Bernavi Xalera Negre Terra Alta, Spain
2019 Xalera Vi Negre (Catalan for “red wine”) is composed of organically farmed Garnatxa (65%), Syrah (25%), and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), planted at 300-350m altitude on Terra Alta’s special panal soils (silty loam with high limestone content and layers of gypsum). The grapes are de-stemmed and given a brief temperature-controlled maceration, fermented in stainless steel, and bottled early in the search of tension and freshness. It is easy-drinking, food-friendly, and fun, with light, juicy berry fruit, inflected with vegetal and herbal notes." - AR Wine"
