Celler La Vinyeta Heus Negre 2013

The Wine

36% Samsó, 35% Syrah, 22% Garnatxa, & 7% Merlot Handpicked old vines of Garnatxa (60 years old) and Samsó (55 years old - local name for Carignan) on poor soils with stones of schist and quartz. Vinification and elevage in tank.

In The Glass Red fruits and spice dominate the Heus Negre which is fresh and lively – while the fruit is quite ripe, it is tempered and restrained by the influences of the coast and the winds. Tangy, tart and bitter cherry are all present along with fresh cracked pepper notes and dried rose petals.
