Located in a remote corner of Catalunya, in Terra Alta in northeastern Spain, Herencia Altes is the project of rising-star winemaker Nuria Altes. Like many young vintners in Spain, Nuria comes from a family that has grown grapes for generations. Growing up among the vines that her grandfather tended, Nuria has known these vineyards since her childhood and decided in 2010 to start purchasing grapes from her father to make her wines. She is assisted by her partner Rafael de Haan, and together they inaugurated a new cellar for the 2016 vintage located in her hometown of Batea. The two now farm 150 acres planted primarily to different versions of Garnacha, the vines ranging in age from 60 to 120 years in age. Nuria’s take on Garnatxa Negra iss brightly expressive, with notes of red fruit an mineral, soft tannins, and a touch of complexity.
