Tasting notes
The pure Cariñena 2013 Dits del Terra is sourced from an ancient slope vineyard on slate soils in Torroja and aged in oak foudres for 18 months after a short, spontaneous fermentation. This cool vintage has produced an aromatic and fresh Dits, with tantalizing aromas of blood orange, with citric-like notes, getting close to the character of the Arbossar. It's perhaps the vintage, but this wine seems to have changed, for the best, it feels more perfumed, beautiful and all of a sudden you forget that the grape is supposed to be rustic. The palate has very fine tannins and great balance, a velvety texture but with grip. This is a fantastic Dits. There are 4,600 bottles produced.

Brilliant red. Heady, mineral-accented black raspberry and cherry scents are complicated by Asian spices and lavender. Palate-staining, intense red and dark berry and floral pastille flavors deliver a compelling blend of power and vivacity. Finishes spicy, vibrant and very long, with fine-grained tannins adding gentle grip before fading into the wine's juicy fruit. Whole-cluster fermented and aged in a 3,500-liter wooden foudre for two years.
