Tasting
Appearance
Cherry color with violet nuances.
Nose
Aromas of black fruits, jams, violets, undergrowth, licorice, pepper and mineral notes.
Mouthfeel
The flavors of ripe black fruits stand out. Although it is a wine with good body, it maintains a good acidity and that allows it to preserve its freshness.
General
An intense wine. The Carignan, a variety of rustic character, is well tamed here by the oak ageing that gives La Muntera a good dose of elegance and balance.
Serving temperature
Between 16 and 18 degrees
Pairing notes
If there is a good piece of meat in sight, this is a good occasion to uncork a bottle of La Muntera. You will enjoy a 100% Terra Alta Carignan, round, elegant and intense.
Occasion
La Muntera is one of those ideal wines to pair with a good beef fillet, lamb meat, grilled sausage, game and stews. It also makes a very good pairing with mature cheeses and high purity chocolates in cocoa.
In the vinyeard
Corbrea d'Ebre is the village with the most hectares of Carignan in the entire Terra Alta Denomination of Origin. From these old vines, carefully selected, La Muntera was born.
In the winery
Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aged for between 12 and 14 months in French oak barrels and rest in the bottle for 12 more months. Limited production.
Cellar
Agrícola de Corbera d'Ebre
Garnacha is one of the distinguishing features of its wines, which are accompanied by other varieties such as Macabeo, Parellada, Tempranillo, Merlot, Mazuelo, Syrah and Cariñena. The area basks in a Mediterranean climate with strong continental influence and low levels of precipitation. These conditions, accompanied by a high-altitude terroir and strong sunshine, make the wines robust and well-structured.
Do Terra Alta
The so-called Customs of Orta (1296) and Miravet (1319) already regulated the sale of wine from the region. But it wasn't until the late nineteenth century that winegrowing became widespread. With the phylloxera plague, the demand from producers for DO Terra Alta [1] grapes increased, first from the French and then from the neighbouring regions that today are DO Tarragona and DOQ Priorat. In the early twentieth century, the organisation of cooperatives was a revolution.
