Garnacha and Cariñena. Much darker, richer than the Terroir Históric. Thicker texture. Robust but already harmonious. Dry and chewy and needs time. (JH)

The 2014 Arbossar is old-vine Cariñena from a north-facing slope (coster), fermented with natural yeast and matured in an oak foudre from Stockinger until bottling in June 2016. This is always a lighter colored, perfumed Cariñena, with the freshness of a north exposure, which in the warmer 2014 feels a little riper and certainly with a lot more tannins than the 2013. The idea for this wine is to ferment it and age it in cement, and remove the oak totally; this will happen from the 2015 vintage. There are 4,864 bottles produced.
