Raig de Raïm Tinto is an exceptional introduction to the hallmark varieties of DO Terra Alta and the thoughtful winemaking of the Piñol family, who have deep winegrowing roots in this region. By maintaining low yields and conducting a slow, low-temperature fermentation, these wines achieve beautiful aromatic expression and complexity. In this bottling of organically grown Garnacha, Cariñena and Syrah, the blend combines elegantly to produce a complex wine with floral and berry fruit aromas framed by fennel, herbs, and a touch of oak in the long finish.
Generations of the Piñol family have made wine on their estate in Terra Alta, a Mediterranean “hidden gem” wine region in the Catalan highlands of Tarragona. Since the early 20th century, an inherited passion for wine has allowed “Piñol” to be synonymous with “pioneer” in Terra Alta’s fine winemaking tradition.
