Description

When Alvaro adds the ancient spelling ‘ Velles Vinyes’ to his wine, we can have no fear that the vines in question are anything other than old…indeed some of them in this case are over 100 years old. The Carinena in known locally as Samsó and makes up 60% of the wine, the balance coming from Garnacha (30%) with a little Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah to complete the picture. An impressive concentration of fruit with real elegance and weight; plum, earth and hints of graphite, with balanced acidity and very fine tannins.The wine has then been bottled unfiltered. And the soils of the vineyards have been tilled by mules! Natural Selection at its best.
