Jorn Nou Petit Tinto

Terra Alta is located in the larger wine region of Catalonia (Catalunya in Catalan and Cataluña in Spanish), where wine has been made for over a thousand years. The Mediterranean climate is perfect for vineyards, which the Romans discovered long before the region of Catalonia itself was established. There are a number of different styles of wine produced here and the wines of Catalonia accounts for almost 25% of Spain's total production. Bold, tannic red wines made with Grenache are highly sought after from the region of Priorat, while Cava (Spain's sparkling wine) is roughly 50% of all wine made in Catalonia and predominately from Penedes.

Barcelona is the capital of the region and because of its size, history, and Mediterranean port, it has become a hub for oenophiles and wine tourism. Terra Alta is one of 10 regions within Catalonia, and produces red, white, and rosé wines. Being just a two hour scenic drive from Barcelona makes this viticultural area a great destination to explore the wine and food of Catalonia. Enjoy today, or by 2021, chilled slightly to 18 C.
