Vins del Tros is a small winery located in the village of Vilalba dels Arcs within the D.O. Terra Alta. This is the recently new created project of two old friends and wine enthusiasts, Joan Ramon Bada an enologist and Josep Arrufat a winegrower, whom, with the support of their own families decided in 2009 to start producing their own wines. Wines that will preserve the typicity of the varietal and will bring out the true characteristics of the region they originate from: Terra Alta.

Tasting notes: Sweet nose with touch of vainilla oak, liquorice and mineral nuances complemented by black fruit aromas. Soft and clear on the palate with expressive flavous of ripe black fruit. Rounded tannins, finishing long and warm.
