Tasting

Appearance

Ruby red colour with mauve rim and medium depth. Clean and translucent. Leaves a dense, abundant tear.

Nose

The aroma is delicate and fresh, fruity and balsamic. Ripe red fruit, cherries, redcurrants. Hints of pepper.

Mouthfeel

The midpalate is voluminous but lively and shows us the unmistakable freshness provided by the Garnacha Peluda in Bot.

General

Premium single-varietal Garnacha Peluda red from the DO Terra Alta. With ageing. The Qvarta Tinto reveals the freshness of a very rare variety. A red wine with body but fresh and light in structure.

Serving temperature

14 degrees

Pairing Notes

The Qvarta Tinto is a magnificent red wine to pair with a whole host of meats and grilled dishes, for example, barbecues with large pieces of beef or veal. And rib-eye steaks, tomahawks, giant ribs, sirloins or rump steaks. Or pair it with a platter of cured cheeses; a marriage made in heaven!

Occasion

This is the perfect wine for meat lovers. You'll even see the array of hues it can take on. Worthy of a doctoral thesis on gastronomy. Before drinking it with a meal, it's well worth Tastinging it alone and always at the right temperature. You'll calmly discover other flavours that will whisk you off to the Mediterranean, with some aniseed, lavender and menthol notes. Take the test. Oh, and if you want to know exactly what liquorice feels like, you'll find it here for sure. Turn your back on imitations.

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.
