From Catalonia in north-east Spain, comes this voluptuous red comprised of mostly Tempranillo with a little Syrah. The altitude, climate, rainfall and landscape lends itself to producing a full-bodied, complex wine. After fermenting on its skins in stainless steel to preserve the fruit aromas, it ages 12 months in both American and French oak until it acquires its exceptional bouquet.
Nerea Reserva Tempranillo Syrah 2015
This is an exquisite wine with an intense ruby red color with garnet tones. The nose reminds one of jam and red fruits with a touch of oak. The palate is fleshy with a mineral finish that is long lasting. Not as heavy as a California Cabernet, but fuller and richer than a Pinot Noir. Superbly intense!

Catalunya
Catalonia is a fascinating Spanish province, home to some of the most sought-after Spanish wines in the country. Penedès is the largest and most significant wine-producing region in Catalonia. It is also one of the oldest wine-producing regions in Europe with traces of early viticulture dating back to the sixth century BC. The diversity of its terrain makes it particularly well-suited for a variety of grapes. Today it is known as the home of some of the most avant-garde wine producers in Spain.
Catalunya D.O.P.
Catalunya is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) (Denominació d'Origen Protegida in Catalan) for Catalan wine which was formally recognised in 2001. It was created with the specific purpose of providing commercial support to over 200 wineries (bodegas) that produced quality wine but which were not included in other specific DOP's in Catalonia. It does not have a specific geographical location but is formed by over 40 km² of individual vineyards which are dispersed all over Catalonia, and allows mixing of grapes from other DOPs.
Catalonia’s 10 denominated wine regions focus mostly on so-called Mediterranean grape varieties, primarily Garnacha and Carignan (also called Cariñena or Samsó) among red grapes, and Garnacha Blanca and Xarel-lo among white grapes.
There’s also Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Trepat planted throughout Catalonia, as well as the white varieties Parellada and Macabeo (Viura in Rioja) that are primarily used for the production of Cava, Spain’s premier sparkling wine.
Catalonian wines tend to be full bodied and high in alcohol, due to the grape varieties and the region’s warm weather conditions. But Catalonia’s best wines also feature intense minerality derived from vineyards planted on granite, chalk and fractured slate soils.
