Llàgrimes de Tardor confers local wines with a wonderfully poetic brand, which is full of meanings, quality and identity. The production of the first Llàgrimes de Tardor in 1996, a crianza red, was a quantum leap in the projection of all our wines and in the recognition and prestige of the Terra Alta DO.

Tasting
Appearance
Very intense red colour.
Nose
The aroma combines notes of red berries typical of the Garnacha, of ageing and of the surroundings.
Mouthfeel
Broad, amiable and fresh midpalate with a long finish.
General
A notable varietal character, dominated by traditional vines, meticulous production and bottle ageing for much longer than a conventional crianza. This is one of the most outstanding crianza reds from the DO Terra Alta.
Serving temperature
15 degrees
Pairing Notes
It's a very versatile red wine to pair with main dishes, mostly meat, especially if roasted or stewed. Its freshness also makes it a hit with meat dishes such as meatballs, with wild mushroom stews or even with cuttlefish.
Occasion
This is a simply fanTastingic wine that reflects the winemaking reality of the Terra Alta, and not just its exceptional Garnachas, but also its wonderful Cariñenas. It's a harmony of flavours, terroirs and vineyards which, despite their location, firmly and decisively cherish the Mediterranean spirit. And, if you've read the pairing section, you'll already have seen that it's a wine that adapts to different culinary creations (meat dishes, wild mushrooms), but you can also try it with a cuttlefish-based stew. Wow! Get ready to experience a sensory festival. You've been forewarned. A stunning wine!
In the vineyard
Selection of Garnacha and Cariñena vineyards chosen from around 150 plots (about 60 hectares). They have an average age of thirty years and are grown with traditional systems typical of Mediterranean winemaking.
In the winery
Manual harvest (and mechanical in the case of the Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon) Ageing: in 225-litre French oak barrels for 1 to 5 years Ageing time: 12 months in the barrel and a minimum of 9 months in the bottle.
Cellar
Sant Josep Vins
Agrícola Sant Josep is a cooperative that was founded in the village of Bot in 1962. It processes and sells the fruits of the three most traditional woody crops in Mediterranean agriculture: the vine, the olive tree and the almond tree.
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.
