Importer Jonas Gustafasson brings us this fascinating white blend from Spain’s Terra Alta region - traditional Garnatxa Blanca spiced with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and a dash of Muscat. A pretty and complex nose of peach and peach skin with a touch of citrus, grass, and summer flowers. Then rich and zippy on the palate with green peach, Clementine and orange zest flavors. Creamy texture with a bit whomp of acidity to keep things fresh and then a bitter grape skin and mineral. Delicious!

Xavier Clua does it again! The newest release of this unaoked red from Terra Alta is better than ever. On the nose it shows dark black plum and super-ripe black raspberry fruit with a hint of earth - reminiscent of a first class Ribera del Duro. It's medium bodied and fresh on the attack with black raspberry fruit, some crisp sweet cherry, and a little blood orange citrus element. The fruit is sweet and ripe but stays fresh, not jammy or overripe. The finish shows more raspberry and a dash of black cherry with some sweet spice and fine, ripe, tannin. You can drink this today simply for the fruit and freshness or give it a little time (a year or two) to gain even more complexity Not a blockbuster at all, but easy as pie to drink! A blend of 50% Garnatxa Negra, 20% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

A breathtaking bottle of old-vine Garnacha Blanca from the hills of Terra Alta that's elegant, refined, and almost Burgundy-like. It's a touch shy aromatically now with notes of peach, peach skin, and lime. Concentrated but deft in the mouth with pretty peach and citrus fruit flavors and a velvety texture. Then explosive on the finish where fantastic stone fruit, citrus, floral, vanilla, green plum and chalk flavors all dance and linger on and on. Just lovely stuff.

From the high altitude vineyards of Terra Alta, the Clua Millennium is a blend of 60% Garnatxa Negre (Grenache), 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah, 3% Monastrell and a touch of Pinot Noir. Powerful yet elegant, the wine shows a big blast of flavor without any hint of heaviness or thickness. The finish is very long and lovely, with the big fruit covering up the ripe tannin the wine will use to age gracefully for years.
"The 2006 Mil.lennium Tinto is made up of 60% Garnacha, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah, with the balance Monastrell and Pinot Noir aged for 12 months in 50% new French oak. Sandalwood, exotic spices, lavender, smoked meat, black cherry, and black raspberry scents set the stage for a juicy, dense, savory, multi-dimensional wine with excellent volume and intensity. Give it 2-3 years to fully blossom and drink it from 2013 to 2021." Wine Advocate 92 points
