TERRA ALTA • MEDITERRANEAN SOUL • SIGNATURE MONOVARIETAL • SPAIN
"The purest, freshest, and most fragrant essence of Garnacha: a captivating Spanish red shaped by sea breezes, altitude, and the expertise of a cult winery."
The Maritime Expression of a Legendary Variety
The Secrets del Mar Garnatxa Negra 2021 Red Wine is an oenological jewel born from the sensibility and technical mastery of the renowned Domini de la Cartoixa winery (creators of the world-acclaimed Clos Galena). Made entirely from Garnacha Negra grapes, the vineyards benefit from an optimal altitude and limestone and clay soils in Tarragona. The 2021 vintage stands out for its crisp fruitiness and impeccable natural freshness, with an elegant, short aging in selected barrels that polishes its tannins without overshadowing the grape.
