Negre 2022

Wine Description for Negre 2022 by Terroir Sense Fronteres

Colour & Appearance

Luminous, transparent cherry red with youthful brilliance – a wine that reveals its authenticity in the glass.

Nose

After brief aeration, a seductive bouquet unfolds of fresh cherries, red berries and blue fruits. These are joined by Mediterranean herbal nuances that lend aromatic depth to the wine without being intrusive.

Palate

Here Garnacha shows its finest side: juicy red fruit meets a silky texture and fine-grained tannin. Despite 14% alcohol, the wine feels remarkably light and fresh – a notable achievement for the hot vintage of 2022. The balance between ripeness and freshness is impeccable, the wine never green, but always crisp and precise.

Finish

Spicy and elegant with lingering fruit and an invigorating freshness that invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from organically farmed vineyards in Montsant at 300 to 350 metres elevation. The Catalan hinterland of the Mediterranean coast provides ideal conditions for this expressive Garnacha.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Garnacha Tinta pure, fermented for one week with stems and matured exclusively in stainless steel tanks. No oak, no excessive extraction – just pure, unadorned fruit and elegance.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Perfect with lamb chops with roasted vegetables, but also with grilled vegetables, tapas, chorizo or a rustic pasta with tomato sauce.

Special Features

This wine embodies the new Spain: less extraction, less oak, more freshness and finesse. A prime example that Mediterranean red wines need not be heavy and alcoholic. Unfussy elegance with depth – easy-drinking for the discerning.
