Wines made from Négrette grapes of Terra Alta
Discover the best wines made with Négrette as a single variety or as a blend of Terra Alta.
Supple, perfumed reds with a deep ruby robe, smooth tannins and a round palate, with intense, characteristic aromas of violet, red fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant), liquorice, soft spice and peppery notes. Gourmand finish; best young or short ageing. The near-exclusive star of Fronton AOC north of Toulouse (minimum 50% in blends), also made as expressive rosés. Autochthonous South-West French variety, possibly brought from Cyprus by the Knights Hospitaller.
Southernmost DO of Catalonia south of Tarragona, world kingdom of white Grenache (33% of the planet's white Grenache, 75% of Spain's). Broad, sun-soaked whites with signature notes of ripe pear, yellow peach, white flowers, fennel, anise and a toasted hazelnut touch, a round and warm palate — powerful and high in alcohol. Dense reds of Garnacha Tinta (blackberry, black cherry, garrigue) and Carinena (licorice, spice). Dry, sunny climate, clay-limestone terraced soils.
