Xalera Vi Negre (Catalan for "red wine") is composed of organically farmed Garnatxa, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, 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 search for tension and freshness. It is easy-drinking, food-friendly, and fun, with light, juicy berry fruit, inflected with vegetal and herbal notes.
Staff Review:
A blend of Garnacha Syrah and Cabernet but coming out of Spain you get so much more flavor. Its delightfully smooth with dark berry flavors. Complex and fun to drink. Love it!
