Organic. 30% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carinyena grown from Carles Alonso's 2.5 ha of vines on slate soils at 250 meters altitude in Alt Empordá. Other than a pruning in the winter he leaves the vines along to struggle and fend for themselves- these are as close to wild vines as you can get. The same approach carries through in the cellar where he does as little as possible (never any additions, fining, or filtering). The Negre is fermented and then aged in ceramic tanks before being bottled with no SO2.
