Garnaxta & Carinyena

NOTES
VINEYARD: High-altitude vineyards grown on poor slate (llicorella) hillsides in the Serra de Prades, between 800 and 900 meters (2800-3000 feet) above sea level, in the small village of Vilanova de Prades in Conca de Barberà (Tarragona).

VINIFICATION: The wines are produced in small quantities using organic and biodynamic principles. Hand-harvesting is a must on the steep hillsides, and there is no use of any chemical products, artificial fertilizers, added sulfur, nor is there any fining. Spontaneous fermentation. Combination of amphora and neutral French oak aging for eight months.
