Via Edetana Carinyena old vine selection is a red wine produced by the Edetària winery in Gandesa, Terra Alta.
A wine that commemorates the Edetària winery's 20th anniversary. It is a single varietal made from grapes coming exclusively from selected old Carinyena vines grown on "tapàs", "tapàs blanc" (shallow soils with carbonated fragments), and "arcillas" soils.
Production:
Hand harvested with a first selection of grapes in the vineyard. Fermented at a controlled temperature of 25 oC for 15 days. Aged for 12 months in 500-litre French oak barrels, final blending before bottling, fallowed by a further 4 years in the bottle.
Tasting Notes:
Elegant nose of ripe black fruit, floral aromas, violets, and a touch of liquor and balsamic notes. A smooth, full-bodied, flavoursome wine with herbaceous notes of the Mediterranean forest. Ample and fluid, round and sweet tannins, long finish.
Edetària is located in the village of Gandesa within the denomination of Terra Alta. All its vineyards are located in the valley called “La Plana de Gandesa”. Edetaria only produces wine from its own vineyards. It owns 38 ha, of which 24 ha are planted with vines, with a high percentage of old vines over 50 years old, and the remaining vines are 20 and 25 years old, producing low yields, always below 4500 kg/ha.
The vineyards are planted in five different types of soil, which, together with each particular microclimate, give each vineyard its own unique personality, producing wines of outstanding quality that reflect the terroir and the personality of the winemaker.
