Kære alle vininteresserede

Vores første vinstokke i Terra Alta er nu 2 år gamle og vi glæder os til at se dem - og besøge vores lokale producent - i april 2012, hvor vi har arrangeret en tur for anpartshaverne.

Køb en anpart og deltag i turen! Turen finder sted i dagene 26/4 – 29/4 2012.

Vores mand på stedet – Xavier Clua – producerer som bekendt allerede en række vine. Terra Alta er ikke det mest kendte område i Spanien, og derfor er det meget flotte point Xavier har fået af Wine Advocate.

Vi gengiver dem her:

*2009 Celler Xavier Clua Mas d'en Pol Blanca
A Proprietary Blend Dry White Table wine from Terra Alta, 89 point
Celler Xavier Clua’s 2009 Mas d’en Pol Blanca is a blend of 60% Garnacha
Blanca (the principal grape of DO Terra Alta), 20% Chardonnay, with the balance Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat fermented and aged in stainless steel.Medium straw-colored with an amber tint, it offers up an alluring nose oforange blossom, floral notes, herbs and cut grass. This leads to a dry, fruity, flavourful wine buttressed by vibrant acidity. This lengthy pleasure-bent offering is an outstanding value.

*2009 Celler Xavier Clua Mas d'en Pol Negre
A Proprietary Blend Dry Red Table wine from Terra Alta, Spain 90point
The 2009 Mas d’en Pol Negre is composed of 50% Garnacha, 20% Syrah, 15% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and raised with no oak. Dark ruby red in color, it displays a fragrant bouquet of pomegranate, cherry, and rose petal. Ripe, savory, and built for pleasure, this excellent value can be enjoyed over the next 6 years.

*2006 Celler Xavier Clua Mas d'en Pol Barrica Tinto
A Proprietary Blend Dry Red Table wine from Terra Alta, Spain 91 point
The 2006 Mas d’en Pol Barrica Tinto is a blend of 40% Garnacha, 20%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 20% Syrah aged for 8 months in French barriques. Toasty oak, Asian spices, incense, lavender, black cherry, and black raspberry aromas inform the nose of a sweetly-fruited, ripe, structured wine with incipient complexity. Give it another 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it from 2013 to 2021.

*2006 Celler Xavier Clua Mil.lennium Tinto

Give it 2-3 years to fully blossom and drink it from 2013 to 2021.
